E- NEWS LETTER                         ISCoS 2010              
From the Editors Desk

                   Spinal cord injury is devastating to the patient and his family and also to the society at large. There is a definite need for us as responsible members of the society to form programmes which can help educate people (medics, paramedics and general population). There is a need to take adequate steps in our endeavor to promote education on such issues, we must utilize the available expertise in the management of such patients and provide them with the best possible level of care.

                 In this endeavor the Spinal Cord Society is taking a step forward by launching an e-newsletter with scientific information which can be utilized for the purpose by all the levels of medical care providers.

                 This e-newsletter would be a quarterly issue and your inputs are welcome to make it a success. Kindly send your esteemed work at scsnewsletter09@gmail.com to help us spread the good work.
