Fragility Fracture Network Greece (FFN Greece) is the national chapter of the international Fragility Fracture Network and is committed to improving the prevention, treatment, and long-term management of fragility fractures frailty and osteoporosis in Greece.
The network brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, academic institutions, and healthcare stakeholders working across disciplines such as orthopedics, geriatrics, endocrinology, rehabilitation, nursing, and health policy. FFN Greece promotes integrated and patient-centered models of care aimed at reducing the risk of secondary fractures and improving the quality of life of patients, particularly older adults.

These models contribute significantly to secondary fracture prevention and more efficient healthcare delivery.

The network is actively engaged in education, professional training, and awareness activities while promoting the adoption of evidence-based practices in osteoporosis and fragility fracture management.
Through collaboration with national and international partners, FFN Greece aims to contribute to research, innovation, and policy development that support healthy ageing and sustainable healthcare systems. The network is interested in partnerships and initiatives related to digital health, data-driven healthcare solutions, and innovative models of care that improve prevention and management of fragility fractures.
