3/3 📢 FROM DEMANDS TO ACTION! 💚💜💙
Spinal health must be a public health priority, not a privilege! ZIHA calls on policymakers, health authorities and communities to turn commitments into action and ensure no one is left behind.
It's #WorldSpineDay. And it's nearly the end of #BoneAndJointActionWeek. Discussing bone health often is part of a healthy lifestyle — and discussing it early is essential!
Women are more likely to have low bone mass and osteoporosis. #SWHRtalksBoneHealth https://ow.ly/wPpl50ZTHti

health workers, accessible information, safer workplaces and community support.

A healthy spine means better movement and a healthier life! 💙 Maintain good posture, stay active, stretch regularly, and take breaks from prolonged sitting.

Around 30% of patients with vertebral metastases suffer a fracture. About 90% of those end in surgery.
The hardest part is the uncertainty: no one can say which vertebra is about to fail.
METASTRA is building the modelling and AI to change that. 🙌
🌍 Today is #WorldSpineDay!
This year’s theme, “Spine Health for Life”, highlights the importance of supporting spinal health throughout life.

♿ Spinal health is a matter of dignity, inclusion and human rights.
We must strengthen: 🩺 Appropriate assessment and care
♿ Accessible rehabilitation
📚 Clear health information
🤝 Community-based support
💰 Affordable services
🏥 BACK PAIN SHOULD NOT BECOME A LIFE SENTENCE
BECAUSE CARE IS OUT OF REACH
Access to appropriate spinal healthcare and rehabilitation remains a challenge in many low- and middle-income settings.
Health equity means access to assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for all.
♿ SPINAL HEALTH MUST INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
Inclusion is not an optional extra.
People with disabilities need:
🏥 Accessible facilities
📚 Accessible information
💰 Affordable rehabilitation
🦯 Appropriate assistive products
🤝 Respectful healthcare
👵🏽👴🏽 AGEING SHOULD NOT MEAN LOSING YOUR MOBILITY.
As populations age, protecting mobility and independence becomes increasingly important.
Older people need:
🦴 Prevention
🚶🏽 Safe physical activity
🏥 Accessible healthcare
♿ Rehabilitation
🤝 Social support
🗣️ Respect
Spinal health deserves attention across the life course.
Prevention matters. Movement matters. Rehabilitation matters. Access to care matters.
