A Hope in the Dark
The Spine Foundation dedicated to providing free spine care in rural and tribal areas of India. We aim to raise awareness about spine issues by educating communities, offering treatment, and establishing essential infrastructure to support those in need.
Initiatives By
Transportation remains a significant barrier for many in rural and urban poor communities. I advocate for mobile clinics to bring healthcare services directly to those in need. By providing care in familiar settings, we can reduce anxiety and improve access. Additionally, engaging local volunteers can help bridge gaps, as they often understand the community's unique dynamics. Together, we can create a supportive environment that encourages individuals to seek medical attention and participate in their health journey.
Point Of View
In my practice as a spine surgeon, I have witnessed the challenges faced by underserved communities in accessing healthcare. Many individuals suffer from spinal issues without the means to seek treatment. My commitment is to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need.
Through collaborative efforts with NGOs and local healthcare providers, I aim to organize free spine clinics in rural and urban areas. By pooling resources and expertise, we can create a sustainable model of care that meets the needs of these communities.
Furthermore, I focus on educating individuals about spinal health, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and preventive measures. By empowering communities with knowledge, we can foster a culture of health awareness and proactive care. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.
We Are With You
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.
