Celebrating 1000th Surgery at V.N. Desai Hospital!
Savita Shashikant Remje, a resilient woman from the quaint village of Ainekher near Chiplun, faced adversity from a young age. Despite her illiteracy, she took on manual jobs such as cleaning yards, gathering cashew nuts, and weeding to make ends meet. She endured excruciating pain in her left leg but continued working as she couldn’t afford to rest. Eventually, the pain became unbearable, and she relied on a walking stick.
After two years, she was bedridden, immobilized by her agony. Fate intervened when her son, Sushant, who now works at VN Desai Hospital with The Spine Foundation, sought help for his mother. The compassionate doctors at the foundation immediately offered assistance. Savita Remje’s story took an extraordinary turn when she became the 1000th patient scheduled for free surgery by The Spine Foundation at VN Desai Hospital.
The Spine Foundation, is dedicated to providing free spinal care to those in need. The foundation’s mission is to alleviate the suffering of individuals with spinal disorders, regardless of their socio-economic status.

Savita Shashikant Remje’s transformation from a woman in pain to a symbol of strength is a true success story, one that inspires us all.

This celebration not only marked our 1000th surgery but also reaffirmed our commitment to making quality spinal care accessible to everyone.
