The Global Spine Congress is one of the largest world congresses of spine care professionals organized every two years by AOSpine International. AOSpine is the international community of spine surgeons organized with the goal of generating, distributing, and exchanging knowledge to advance science and spine care worldwide.
The doctors of the National Center for Spinal Disorders, the hospital division of the Buda Health Center, presented their lectures as part of one of the largest European delegations at the Congress.
On the first day of the Congress, the spinal tumor scientific group held its meetings in which our Director, Peter Paul Varga, MD was one of the eight invited leading spine surgeons. The invitation was in recognition of the determining scientific role our institute plays in research projects conducted together with prestigious Italian, British, North American, Canadian, Japanese and Australian institutions.
