About CaMOP

Founded in 1997, the Calcium Metabolism and Osteoporosis Program is the first of its kind nationally and regionally as a center of expertise for metabolic bone disorders.

The mission of the Calcium Metabolism and Osteoporosis Program is to promote excellence in clinical care, research and education in disorders of calcium and bone metabolism.

Program vision: "Strong Bones in a Fracture Free Society".

The Program's outstanding achievements in all three endeavors led to the coveted designation by the World Health Organization as a “WHO Collaborating Center (WHO-CC) for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disorders” in 2010 and the redesignation in 2014, and again in 2020.

The Program has also been the nucleus for several major initiatives including:

National and international clinical guidelines on osteoporosis and densitometry.
Landmark systematic reviews, meta-analyses, including Cochrane systematic reviews at the national and international level.
Lebanon online Fracture Risk Assessment FRAX calculator, launched in 2009. More
