Dr. Ismail Shaikh
My commitment to serving rural communities has deepened my understanding of the importance of preventive care. Many individuals come to me only when they’re unwell. I focus on educating patients about the value of regular check-ups and screenings. By promoting a proactive approach to health, I aim to empower individuals to take charge of their well-being and prevent diseases before they occur.
Point Of View
"Creating Awareness: The Importance of Spinal Health"
My role as a spine surgeon goes beyond performing surgeries; it is about healing hearts and minds. In rural and urban poor communities, many individuals endure chronic pain from untreated spinal issues. This situation often leads to despair and hopelessness.
I find immense joy in serving these communities. By providing free spine surgeries and consultations, I aim to bring relief to those who need it most. The smiles of grateful patients remind me of the difference we can make when we give back.
Additionally, I am committed to educating these communities about spinal health, emphasizing prevention and early intervention. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can lead to healthier lives and empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Through my work, I hope to inspire others to engage in community service. Together, we can create a ripple effect of compassion and healing, transforming lives and fostering a culture of care and support.
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.
