SAG or the Spine Association of Gujarat is an organic amalgamation of the Gujarat Spine Association(GSA) and the Spine Surgeons Association of Gujarat (SSAG). It is the oldest regional spine association and was started in 1996 by late Dr Dinubhai Patel with the aim to develop medical interventions in spine as a specialty and spread awareness about spine surgery throughout Gujarat. As a result this association was formed with orthopedic and neurosurgeons with special interest in spine surgery.
Over the last 23years, the association has grown from an association formed by surgeons having a special interest to a fully dedicated platform for spine surgeons. In fact, more than a institution, it has become a platform for cross fertilisation of ideas in this speciality, the place for young surgeons and seniors to enhance principal and advanced knowledge of spinal disorders besides to explore latest surgical techniques through fellowships, trainings, teachings, lectures, seminars, workshops and discussions.
Today SAG has 332 members and a reputation of having the largest number of exclusive spine surgeons in India in one place. Supported by members and affiliated societies, every day, it is committed to bringing affordable and progressive spine care to everyone.
