brittle bone

Born with the Brittle Bone disease, Dr Fathima Asla dreams of an India with more disabled-friendly spaces. Here’s her inspiring journey.

Latheesha suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease. A rare genetic disorder, OI mainly affects bones making them brittle and prone to easy breakage.

For Dhanya Ravi seeing her parents cry every time she would be rushed to the hospital or when she would refrain from eating a cake fearing her teeth would break was more heartbreaking and painful than breaking bones.
