SOUTHERN EUROPE REGIONAL EXPERT MEETING FRAGILITY FRACTURE NETWORK

25 – 26 April 2020

Welcome Message

Dear esteemed Colleagues,

Because of its rapidly-ageing population, the Southern Europe region, like other global regions, will see a pandemic of hip fractures (and other fragility fractures) in the next few decades. The healthcare systems will not be able to cope with this. The FFN – a global organisation – offers a way to meet this challenge, which was published (by FFN plus other international organisations) in 2018 as a Call to Action1, through a combination of:

preventing as many fractures as possible by secondary prevention after every fragility fracture
treating those that do occur in the best and most cost-effective way, through multidisciplinary co-management, in the peri-operative and rehabilitation phases
creating multidisciplinary national alliances that can bring about the necessary changes in healthcare policy to facilitate these actions
