After an incredible 39 years with Orthopaedic Suppliers, we say a very special congratulations to Mrs. Ann Lishman on her retirement.

Your leadership, dedication and commitment have played an immeasurable role in shaping Orthopaedic Suppliers into the company it is today. Your contribution has left a lasting legacy, not only within the business, but with everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside you.

Thank you for 39 remarkable years, Ann. We couldn’t have asked for a better leader for the OS family.

Congratulations on your retirement, and all the very best for your next adventure! ❤️

🌍 International Assistive Technology Day – 4 June 2026 🌍

Today, we join the global campaign in celebrating the power of assistive technology to transform lives.

Assistive products such as prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, wheelchairs, hearing aids, communication devices, and screen readers help millions of people participate more fully in education, employment, family life, sport, and their communities. They unlock opportunities that many of us experience every day.

Yet globally, billions of people require assistive technology, while access remains limited for many, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Improving access to appropriate, affordable, and quality assistive products is essential to achieving greater inclusion, independence, dignity, and quality of life for all.

As the South African Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (SAOPA), we are proud to represent the Orthotic and Prosthetic professionals who work every day to help unlock mobility, function, participation, and independence for the people they serve.

How can you get involved?
✅ Share a story about how assistive technology has made a difference in your life or community.
✅ Highlight an assistive product that helps you, a loved one, or a patient achieve their goals.
✅ Join the global conversation using and .
✅ Help raise awareness about the importance of equitable access to assistive technology for everyone who needs it.

Together, we can unlock everyday opportunities and create a more inclusive world.
