BOFAS Global Education Working Group
We develop, support and deliver learning opportunities and professional development across Africa, the Middle East and beyond. Starting with purely humanitarian intentions in 2016 for Low Income countries, the BOFAS Education Committee has broadened its horizons to include High Income countries to help subsidise its charitable goals.
In 2025, the BOFAS Global working group was created to manage the ever-increasing workload and demand from foot & ankle colleagues around the world.
