We believe that access to good quality healthcare should be a right. Dr. Bharat P. Sarkar embodies this, he is a specialist Spine and Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, who does justice to our belief with his uncompromising commitment to underprivileged sections of society. He has spent more than 12 years practicing advance spine surgery and has dedicated his life to ensuring specialized spinal services are available for those in real need.
Dr. Sarkar commenced his journey at the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, where he did his MBBS, and then went on to complete an MS in Orthopaedics from Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Wardha. His interest in spine surgery took him to prestigious fellowships at the Cleveland Clinic, USA, and The Spine Foundation in Mumbai, where he specialized in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), spinal trauma, fractures, tumours, and deformity corrections such as scoliosis and kyphosis.
Apart from working in hospitals, Dr. Sarkar is also a strong advocate for rural and tribal healthcare. As a fellow of the Spine Foundation Fellows Group and Global Spine Alliance, he has been an active part of community outreach programs, organizing spine health awareness camps and rehabilitation programs. His specialty goes beyond surgery—he specializes in pain management through spinal injections and pain blocks, making non-surgical methods accessible to those in need as well.
He is actively involved in rural communities, raising awareness among people regarding osteoporosis, fall prevention, and spinal injury rehabilitation. His work has been awarded on several occasions, including the Best Paper Award at TRAUMACON 2010 and the I.S. Patial Silver Medal for postgraduate research.
With his commitment, Dr. Bharat P. Sarkar is not only treating spine conditions, he is bringing back mobility, dignity, and hope to communities.
Point Of View
"Compassionate Care: A Surgeon's Promise to Serve"
The disparity in healthcare access between urban and rural populations is a pressing issue that needs addressing. As a spine surgeon, I recognize the immense suffering faced by those in underserved communities due to untreated spinal conditions.
My commitment to serving these populations stems from the belief that healthcare should be a fundamental right for all. Through free spine surgeries and consultations, I aim to bridge the gap between those in need and the resources available to them.
By bringing mobile clinics to rural areas, we can provide essential services to those who would otherwise go untreated. Moreover, I emphasize the importance of community education in spinal health, empowering individuals to seek help early.
Together, we can create a system where everyone has access to the care they deserve. My dedication to this cause is unwavering, as I strive to inspire others to join in the effort. The journey may be challenging, but the rewards of restoring health and hope to underserved communities are immeasurable.

"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.
