Osteoporosis and its perspective in Pakistan: A review of evidence and issues for addressing fragility fractures.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2018 May

Cost of therapies, time and cost of resources for diagnosis, concerns about medications and lack of clarity regarding the onus of responsibility to undertake this care, are some of the barriers to osteoporosis identification and treatment.
