For nearly twelve long years, Ms. Hemlata Joshi, a 43-year-old resident of Haldwani in Nainital district, Uttarakhand, endured the debilitating effects of rheumatoid arthritis. The persistent pain and stiffness gradually eroded her daily life, mobility, and overall sense of well-being, creating significant challenges in her personal and routine activities.
