IODA Charter Signatories
In signing the IODA Charter, global orthopaedic organisations have made a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. These organisations recognize that increasing the diversity of our organisations will not only attract the top talent and make our organisations more innovative, it will also reduce the disparity in orthopaedic care. Diversity of healthcare teams enables us to understand and to meet our patient’s needs more effectively, providing higher quality and more equitable, patient-centered care.
