Global Spine Care Initiative project published in European Spine Journal
The Global Spine Care Initiative was convened by members of World Spine Care to investigate the unmet need for quality spine care in under-served, low- to middle-income countries.
The 4-year process has culminated in the publication of 15 articles in an upcoming focus issue of the European Spine Journal.
All papers are currently available online ahead of print and are linked below as well as on the Global Spine Care Initiative website.
