OsteoLink is the first online and in-person social network for people with osteoporosis, their friends, families, and healthcare professionals in Europe and Australia.
An initiative of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the Division of Bone Diseases at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, OsteoLink operates globally and at the country level, working with our network of IOF member National Societies. OsteoLink makes it easy for people to share their experience, find credible, up-to-date information about osteoporosis and learn from one another.
OsteoLink is designed to encourage better communication among people with osteoporosis, their friends, families and their healthcare providers. It offers a forum where people can share their experience, learn from one another, and find credible, up-to-date information about osteoporosis.
To date, OsteoLink has been launched in Australia, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland, with more to come in 2012. Visit www.osteolink.org
