ISCoS Regional symposium 5 | Advancing Global SCI Knowledge & Support
The International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) delivers world-class spinal cord injury (SCI) research, education, and clinical expertise to regions where enhanced support and services are most needed. Through its regional symposia programme, ISCoS helps bridge critical knowledge gaps, equipping healthcare professionals with the skills, evidence, and insights required to elevate SCI care worldwide.
The ISCoS African Road Show is part of this global initiative, bringing together leading experts, innovators, and advocates in spinal cord injury management to support capacity building across the continent. This travelling symposium provides a collaborative platform for sharing best practice, showcasing research and innovation, and strengthening professional networks across diverse healthcare settings.
Through expert-led discussion, hands-on learning opportunities, and cross-continental collaboration, ISCoS aims to inspire new possibilities and contribute to sustainable improvements in SCI care across Africa.
