Point Of View
"Together We Can Change Lives Through Care"
As a spine surgeon, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care to underserved communities. Many individuals in rural and urban areas live with untreated spinal conditions, often due to financial constraints and lack of access to healthcare.
My mission is to change that narrative. Through outreach programs, I offer free spine consultations and surgeries, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need. Each successful surgery not only restores mobility but also brings hope to individuals and their families.
In addition to treatment, I prioritize education, sharing knowledge about spinal health and preventive care. By empowering communities with information, we can foster a culture of health awareness that transcends generations. Together, we can create a future where pain is no longer a barrier to living life to the fullest.
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.
