‘It is in the ultimate aim of Bone SA to build bridges between the generous donations of human allograft and those who are in dire need thereof, that the special nature of the company lies. Since my first introduction to Bone SA the unique nature and ethos of the company and its people never cease to amaze me. My involvement with Bone SA over the last 17 years have been exciting and stimulating and all energy and time devoted to this endeavour has been more than rewarding and worthwhile.’
