The purpose is to report on the fourth set of recommendations developed by SPINE20 to advocate for evidence-based spine care globally under the theme of “One Earth, One Family, One Future WITHOUT Spine DISABILITY”. Not applicable. Recommendations were developed and refined through two modified Delphi processes with international, multi-professional panels. Seven recommendations were delivered to the G20 countries calling them to:-establish, prioritize and implement accessible National Spine Care Programs to improve spine care and health outcomes.-eliminate structural barriers to accessing timely rehabilitation for spinal disorders to reduce poverty.-implement cost-effective, evidence-based practice for digital transformation in spine care, to deliver self-management and prevention, evaluate practice and measure outcomes.-monitor and reduce safety lapses in primary care including missed diagnoses of serious spine pathologies and risk factors for spinal disability and chronicity.-develop, implement and evaluate standardization processes for spine care delivery systems tailored to individual and population health needs.-ensure accessible and affordable quality care to persons with spine disorders, injuries and related disabilities throughout the lifespan.-promote and facilitate healthy lifestyle choices (including physical activity, nutrition, smoking cessation) to improve spine wellness and health. SPINE20 proposes that focusing on the recommendations would facilitate equitable access to health systems, affordable spine care delivered by a competent healthcare workforce, and education of persons with spine disorders, which will contribute to reducing spine disability, associated poverty, and increase productivity of the G20 nations. •Establish, prioritize and implement accessible National Spine Care Programs to improve spine care and health outcomes. (Domain: Implementation of recommendation)•Eliminate structural barriers to accessing timely rehabilitation for spinal disorders to reduce poverty. (Domain: Spinal disability and poverty)•Implement cost-effective, evidence-based practice for digital transformation in spine care, to deliver self-management and prevention, evaluate practice and measure outcomes. (Domain: Digital spine care)•Monitor and reduce safety lapses in primary care including missed diagnoses of serious spine pathologies and risk factors for spinal disability and chronicity. (Domain: Patient safety)•Develop, implement and evaluate standardization processes for spine care delivery systems tailored to individual and population health needs. (Domains: Economy)•Ensure accessible and affordable quality care to persons with spine disorders, injuries and related disabilities throughout the lifespan. (Domain: Social Determinants)•Promote and facilitate healthy lifestyle choices (including physical activity, nutrition, smoking cessation) to improve spine wellness and health.
