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
Mental health is often overlooked in rural and tribal communities. I prioritize integrating mental health screenings into routine visits, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being. By creating a safe space for discussions about mental health, I aim to destigmatize these issues. I collaborate with mental health professionals to ensure comprehensive care for my patients. Providing resources for stress management and coping strategies is essential. Ultimately, I strive to foster resilience, helping individuals navigate the challenges they face while promoting overall well-being.
Point Of View
As a spine surgeon, I find immense joy in serving underserved communities. Many individuals in rural and urban areas live with untreated spinal conditions, often due to financial barriers and lack of awareness. My mission is to bring hope and healing to these communities.
By organizing free spine clinics, I aim to provide essential services while fostering relationships built on trust and compassion. It's not just about performing surgeries; it's about understanding the unique challenges these individuals face and providing them with the care they deserve.
In addition to treatment, I focus on educating communities about spinal health, empowering them to prioritize their well-being. Together, we can create a ripple effect of change, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy, pain-free life.
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.
