Street cleaners are faced with cold, rainy and damp conditions for several months of the year as they go about their job keeping the city clean. Their health is often severely affected by this stress and their joints, in particular, can become painful, swollen and deformed. Which is why Menarini China dedicated an information day to the Wuhan city street cleaners.

A gesture of appreciation towards these often unsung "urban heroes" who keep the streets clean and tidy. The sanitation workers were given the opportunity to listen to a talk by Yang Huigin, a rheumatologist at the Wuhan hospital, on the prevention and treatment of arthritis and arthrosis. These chronic inflammatory diseases affect the joints and their symptoms are aggravated by adverse weather conditions.
