World Spine Care is launching Helping Hands, their annual fundraising campaign in support of their mission to provide sustainable, evidence-based, quality spine care to under-served communities around the world.
Today, 577 million people suffer from lower back pain globally. By joining the Helping Hands campaign, you can help World Spine Care provide the critically needed programs and services to those who need it most. The campaign runs from October 1 – December 31, 2021.
Did you know?
More than one billion people in the world today experience spine-related disabilities.
The greatest burden of disability worldwide is attributed to neck and back pain combined.
Spine pain disproportionately affects women, the elderly, rural communities, and lower-income countries.
What is World Spine Care doing about it?
Over the past 10 years, 60+ volunteers have provided over 50,000 patient visits to individuals at the World Spine Care clinics located in communities with otherwise limited access to spine care. In addition, World Spine Care has provided educational programs for local health professionals, and through the Global Spine Care Initiative has continued to do and publish research to help others provide similar services.
What can you do?
Your generosity will help to purchase equipment for our global clinics, support our team of international volunteers, and provide the much-needed research and educational support to provide evidence-based spine care to the underserved. You will move us towards our vision of a world in which everyone has access to the highest quality spine care possible.
The 2021 Helping Hands campaign was established to encourage individuals to donate a dollar a day (or a multiple thereof) for 57 days, in honor of the 577 million people in the world suffering from lower back pain.
