Initiatives By
Dr. Shiva Kumar
I have seen firsthand the impact of community support on health outcomes. In rural and urban settings, patients who feel connected to their community are more likely to seek care and adhere to treatment plans. I encourage initiatives that foster social connections, such as support groups and wellness programs. Building these networks enhances resilience and promotes a culture of health within the community.
Point Of View
"Innovating Healthcare Access for Rural Spine Patients"
As a spine surgeon, I believe that giving back to the community is essential. Many individuals in rural and urban poor areas endure pain from untreated spinal conditions, often due to a lack of access to care.
I am dedicated to providing free consultations and surgeries to those in need. Each successful intervention is a testament to the power of service and compassion. It is incredibly fulfilling to witness the transformation in my patients’ lives.
In addition to medical care, I emphasize the importance of education. By teaching communities about spinal health and preventive measures, we empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Together with fellow healthcare professionals and NGOs, we can create a network of support that ensures everyone has access to quality care. Each small effort contributes to a larger mission of creating healthier communities.
Let us work hand in hand to uplift those in need, creating a brighter future for all. The joy of giving back is unmatched, and the impact we can make together is profound.
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.
