Zoledronic acid strengthens the bone by increasing bone density and corrects the imbalance between bone reabsorption and bone formation, which occurs in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Zoledronic acid infusions are most effective in children when they are given every six months..

We are so excited to support children in Nigeria with brittle bone disease to receive treatment with Zoledronic acid medicine at St Charles Hospital under the supervision of Dr P. Metieh, the Managing Director of St Charles Hospital Surulere Lagos, Nigeria, in December 2023..

Without this medication, these children will be highly prone to constant fractures, living a miserable and frustrating life, that is why OIFN has stepped to give the a real time of survival and hope for a better life. With just £25 a child can have a bone strengthener, also known as known as Zole..

We couldn't have been able to do this without donations from individuals like you who have supported us with their donations over the years.
