A global initiative to improve the care of underserved people with spinal disorders deserves support

[摘要] The Global Spine Care Initiative (GSCI) was convened by World Spine Care (WSC), a charity, founded by Joan and Scott Haldeman in 2008. With the support of an international team of dedicated like-minded clinicians and researchers, WSC has established spine care programs in four underserved communities in low- and middle-income countries. Over 50 volunteers have donated their time and expertise from 6 weeks to 1 year providing care and establishing public education programs for people who have minimal or no access to spine care. The mission of WSC is “to improve lives in underserved communities through sustainable, integrated, evidence-based, spine care”.
