Dr. Sheetal Mohite
Working in rural areas has shown me the importance of adaptability. Resources are often scarce, and I must think creatively to provide effective care. Collaborating with local health workers and utilizing telemedicine has proven invaluable. By integrating traditional practices with modern medicine, I can offer holistic solutions that respect cultural beliefs. This approach not only improves health outcomes but also strengthens community ties. My mission is to empower these communities, fostering resilience and promoting health as a shared goal.
Point Of View
"Transforming Healthcare Access for Underserved Communities Today"
The joy of serving others fuels my passion as a spine surgeon. I have witnessed firsthand the struggles of individuals in rural tribal areas who face debilitating spinal conditions without access to proper medical care. My mission is to change that narrative.
By organizing free spine clinics in these communities, I aim to provide much-needed services while instilling hope. It’s not just about performing surgeries; it’s about fostering relationships, understanding the unique challenges these individuals face, and providing them with the care they deserve.
The impact of our work extends beyond the operating room. By sharing knowledge about spinal health, we can empower these communities to prioritize their well-being. Together, we can create a ripple effect of change, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy, pain-free life.
We Are With You
"A message for society from The Spine Foundation"
The Spine Foundation aims to provide the best spine care to the rural, tribal, and poor in urban areas of India. It was Founded by Dr. Shekhar Bhojraj, who believes that there is a critical gap of service in health care for this segment of patients who understand their spine health care needs but are usually ill-equipped with information or economic resources to access quality services. The Spine Foundation provides free medical consultations, treatments, and surgeries for different spinal conditions. Indeed, such spinal conditions can affect quality of life pretty seriously.
The foundation services include direct medical care, education, and preventive awareness of spinal health, education of communities to take preventive measures, and building sustainable healthcare in remote areas. The organization aims at empowering the individual and community to take control of their spine health instead of just treating it. With caring service and expert medical interventions, The Spine Foundation envisions a future where all individuals can receive quality spine care.
Together, we can create a healthier future by ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background or location, has access to quality spine care. Let’s work towards empowering the rural, tribal, and urban poor with the treatment and knowledge they need for a pain-free life.
