Urgent Notice: IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis has been cancelled 

It is with great regret that the IOF announces the cancellation of the IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis in Bangkok. As you know, the political situation in Thailand has been, and continues to be unstable, and Bangkok international airports are closed.

We regret that we have now reached a time when holding the congress is no longer a viable option.

With kind regards, 

IOF Executive Committee
Prof. John Kanis, Prof. Cyrus Cooper, Prof. Bess Dawson-Hughes, Prof. René Rizzoli, Judy Stenmark
