Initiatives By
Dr. Tausif Ahmed Shikalgar
I’ve witnessed the profound effect of community support on health outcomes. In both rural and urban environments, patients who feel a sense of belonging are more inclined to seek care and follow treatment plans. I advocate for initiatives that strengthen social ties, such as support groups and wellness programs. Cultivating these networks boosts resilience and fosters a culture of health throughout the community.
Point Of View
"Resilience and Recovery: A Spine Surgeon’s Mission"
Empathy is the cornerstone of my practice as a spine surgeon. Many individuals in rural and urban poor communities suffer from untreated spinal conditions due to limited access to healthcare.
Through my work with NGOs, I am committed to providing free consultations and surgeries to those in need. Each patient’s story is a reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding in healthcare.
Moreover, I believe in the power of education. By teaching communities about spinal health and preventive measures, we empower individuals to recognize issues early and seek help.
Together with fellow healthcare professionals, we can create a support network that ensures everyone has access to the care they need.
My commitment to serving underserved populations drives me to reach out and make a difference. Each small act of kindness can create a ripple effect of positive change.
Let us work together to uplift those in need and create a brighter future for all. The journey of service is one of profound fulfillment 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.
