At The Spine Foundation, we are privileged to have Dr. Raghu Prasad Varma, one of the most esteemed spine surgeons in Mumbai. With more than 30 years of experience and a profound familiarity with Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, he has changed many lives with what he does. But outside of the operating suite, Dr. Varma’s passion is providing even the underserved communities the care they deserve.
Though he is always on the go as a senior spine consultant at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, he spends his weekends treating patients who have limited or no access to specialized medical care. Through The Spine Foundation’s medical camps, he has treated hundreds of patients with sciatica, slipped disc, spondylosis, and other spinal problems, providing treatment that many had given up hope of ever getting. His experience in correction of spine deformity and endoscopic spine surgery gives relief to individuals who have been suffering from pain for decades. Dr. Varma’s path has led him all over the globe. He is Internationally trained spine specialist from countries like Germany, UK, Singapore and USA. Also, his fellowships in Leipzig, Stanmore and NUH, Singapore have made him an expert but his aim is still rooted in giving back. For him, being ranked among the top spine surgeons in Mumbai is less about recognition—it’s more about using his abilities to make a real difference.

Point Of View
"Awaken Your Potential: Follow Your Inner Belief!"
I have harbored a deep desire to give back to society. My journey in medicine has always been guided by the belief that healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Upon becoming a doctor, my primary intention was to treat those who cannot afford medical treatment.
After completing my fellowship with The Spine Foundation, I found the perfect platform to fulfill this ambition. I began actively participating in the foundation’s camps, where we provide essential spine care to underserved populations. These camps not only allow me to treat patients but also raise awareness about spinal health in rural and tribal communities.
Today, I dedicate my weekends to this cause, offering my skills and knowledge to help those in need. It is incredibly rewarding to see the difference we can make in people’s lives, restoring their health and improving their quality of life. This commitment to serving the less fortunate not only fulfills my professional goals but also reinforces my passion for helping others. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a healthier society.

"A message for society from Dr. Raghu Verma
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.
