The New Nation - Internet Edition

Spine surgeons from all over the country met in the conference room of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, BSMMU, Dhaka and discussed in the matters of spine surgery. In course of discussion, an unanimous consent was given for the formation of the Bangladesh Spine Society.

This new organisation designed its mission to improve spine health country-wide. The Society will enable the interested doctors to communicate more effectively, share their expertise and experience and thus improve the service given to their patients. Moreover, communication on the international level as well as sharing of technologies with the more developed countries will both increase through this Society.

From time to time, the members of the Society plan to hold seminars, symposiums, workshops and scientific conferences all over the country in order to educate doctors about spine care. In these conferences; national and international faculties will be invited, resulting in greater dissemination of knowledge amongst all.

Later, an executive committee was formed. The 19 members committee included Dr Khan Abdul Awal Rizvi as President and Dr. M Idris Ali as General Secretary while Dr Mainul Haque Sarker as Treasurer.
