Africa Spine

Africa Spine as a Continental Society is already in over 15 countries and is set to reach and involve more local spine societies and individuals in order to have more members. 

 Our main objectives are:

• To stimulate and offer a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas in the field of research, prevention and treatment of all spinal disorders and deformities as well as their related problems.

• To stimulate fundamental and clinical studies of these spinal disorders and their related problems.

• To coordinate efforts undertaken in African countries and abroad for further development in this field in order to improve the health and fitness of present and forthcoming generations

• To promote best practice based on available evidence in the management of spinal conditions 

• Promotion of Education
