Point Of View
"Engaging Communities in Spine Health Awareness Initiatives"
As a spine surgeon, I understand that my role extends beyond the operating room. It is a privilege to serve individuals in rural and urban poor communities, many of whom face significant barriers to accessing quality healthcare.
My commitment to providing free spine surgeries and consultations stems from a desire to create lasting change. Each successful intervention not only alleviates pain but also restores hope and dignity to my patients.
In addition to surgical care, I emphasize the importance of education. By teaching communities about spinal health and preventive measures, we empower individuals to take control of their well-being.
The journey may be challenging, but it is a worthy pursuit. I believe that together, we can create a brighter future where access to healthcare is not a privilege but a right.
By working collectively, we can ensure that our efforts resonate through time, creating a legacy of compassion and healing for generations to come. Let us join hands in this mission of service and impact.
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.
