Why ZOBS Was Founded
ZOBS was founded by a group of rheumatologists, radiologists, and geriatric specialists in Harare. We noticed a pattern: patients arriving at hospitals with broken hips, never having heard of osteoporosis. We decided to take action.

To reduce the incidence of fragility fractures across Zimbabwe through accessible education, early detection, and advocacy for better elderly care.
