Bone density and osteoporosis screening

Health Call Clinic partnered with Filipino Runners United to offer free bone density screening and osteoporosis education to members of the Filipino community in Dubai.

Osteoporosis is often called a "silent" disease because it develops without symptoms until a fracture happens. Screening — combined with vitamin D testing and lifestyle advice — is one of the most effective ways to catch and slow bone loss early, especially for women after menopause and adults with a family history of fractures.

During the event our rheumatology team ran quick screening reviews, answered questions about joint and bone health, and shared practical guidance on nutrition, exercise and when to see an expert.

Thanks to Filipino Runners United for hosting us. If you'd like a full bone density assessment or a rheumatology consultation, contact the clinic.
