EPISODE 63: Capture the Fracture, a Global Program Addressing Osteoporosis and Secondary Fracture Care

Dr. Philippe Halbout

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill sits down with Dr. Philippe Halbout, CEO of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) to discuss the groundbreaking Capture the Fracture global program.

Dr. Halbout has been instrumental in advancing the work of IOF, with his focus on osteoporosis and secondary fracture prevention. His leadership has led to the development of ambitious initiatives and strengthened patient-centered communications. Some of his initiatives include the IOF Global Patient Charter, IOF's Osteoporosis Risk Check, and the Give Patients a Voice video campaign. Dr. Halbout has also overseen the publication of important policy audits and reports, all of which aim to raise awareness and drive action in response to the global fragility fracture crisis. Under his leadership, IOF has strengthened its collaboration and organizational outreach, building alliances with organizations in the field and other nations to further the goals of the foundation.

The Capture the Fracture Program is a global initiative that provides recognition, resources, training, and tools to support Post-Fracture Care Coordination Programs (Fracture Liaison Services) worldwide. It has the goal of facilitating and supporting the implementation of coordinated multidisciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention. Since 2020, they’ve been able to train 71 mentors in 14 countries.
