The Spine Foundation’s Journey To Burundi
Burundi, a small African country, brought to our attention a story that reflected the difficulties we face in India. Maïssa, a little girl with a bent spine, saw her condition worsen month after month. Her single mother, who was raising two girls, lacked the financial resources to seek medical care. Thousands of Maïssas suffer silently in isolated and resource-scarce regions, an unpleasant reality.
Pediatric Miracle
The Spine Foundation stepped in and arranged a life-changing emergency scoliosis surgery at Mutoyi Government Hospital. Seeing Maïssa through her remarkable recovery strengthened our resolve to continue our journey beyond India. Maïssa’s experience highlights the global need for accessible spine treatment. The goal of The Spine Foundation’s mission is clear: to bring hope and healing to these forgotten corners of the world, one Maïssa at a time.
