We are firm believers that good healthcare must be available to those most in need, irrespective of their financial situation. This conviction is at the very core of Dr. Pranav Rajendra’s work as a spine surgeon and passionate healthcare advocate. His association with The Spine Foundation has enabled him to change innumerable lives, especially in rural Maharashtra, where there is limited access to expert medical treatment.
Dr. Rajendra has played a crucial role in offering free spine surgery and consultations to economically underprivileged patients. His work is not just about performing surgeries —he makes sure each of his patients is given long-term follow-up care, rehabilitation, as well as spinal health education. By concentrating on awareness and early intervention, he empowers individuals to own their well-being.
One of the biggest challenges rural healthcare faces is convincing patients to get treatment. Most live in pain for years because of a lack of awareness and availability. Through his outreach programs, Dr. Rajendra proactively educate patients regarding spinal conditions, treatments available and the need to approach a doctor in time.
As part of The Spine Foundation’s program, he trains local health workers (Asha workers) to recognize early symptoms of spinal disorders in their communities. This makes spinal health awareness reach even the remote areas, creating a sustainable model of community-based healthcare.
With more than 1,000 free spine surgeries conducted each year, Dr. Rajendra’s commitment to holistic patient care and rehabilitation has provided a second chance at mobility to thousands of people. His efforts are a testament to the reality that compassionate care, coupled with skill and outreach, can close the gap between medical innovation and the individuals who most need it.
We are honored to feature the efforts of Dr. Pranav Rajendra, whose tireless work reminds us that healthcare is really about reaching out, teaching and healing, one patient at a time.
Point Of View
"Compassionate Care: Making a Difference in Lives"
As a spine surgeon, I believe in the importance of creating opportunities for those in need. Many individuals in rural and urban poor communities suffer from spinal disorders without access to quality healthcare. My commitment is to address this disparity through dedicated service.
By organizing outreach programs that provide free spine surgeries and consultations, I aim to bring hope and healing to those in need. It’s essential to not only treat patients but also educate them about spinal health and preventive care. Empowering individuals with knowledge enables them to take charge of their health.
I believe that lasting change comes from collaboration. By partnering with local healthcare providers, we can build a sustainable model of care that addresses the unique challenges faced by these communities. Together, we can create a healthier future for all, where everyone has access to the care they deserve.

"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.
