As part of a business trip to African countries, our vice president Alessandra Tolaccia visited the South African OI-organization Brittle Bones South Africa, who organized meetings with OI doctors and researchers in South Africa.

Important discussions were had about how we can strengthen collaboration between different countries to improve lives of people with OI.

Quote from Rageema Livingstone (Brittle Bones South Africa)

“During Alessandra’s visit, we spent time sharing experiences, strengthening relationships, and exploring how collaboration between African initiatives and our European counterparts can grow in meaningful and practical ways.

This visit is an important reminder that progress happens when people come together with openness and trust. The conversations we are having now are helping to lay the groundwork for stronger cross-border cooperation and a more connected future for individuals and families living with OI. I am deeply grateful for her willingness to engage, to listen, and to walk this journey with us as we continue building.”
