Neurosurgeons are calling for immediate action and proper stabilization in managing spinal cord injuries, stressing the importance of timely and effective treatment to prevent long-term disabilities. They underline the significant role of medical professionals and policymakers in ensuring that patients receive the care they need swiftly.
