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
In tribal communities, the significance of cultural sensitivity cannot be overstated. Many individuals have deeply rooted traditions surrounding health and healing. By respecting and incorporating these practices into my medical approach, I can bridge gaps and build trust. Listening to their stories allows me to tailor healthcare interventions that resonate with their values. This partnership fosters a collaborative environment, ultimately enhancing health outcomes. I am dedicated to advocating for their needs, ensuring they receive the care they deserve while preserving their cultural identity.
Point Of View
Every day as a spine surgeon, I am reminded of the profound impact I can have on the lives of my patients. Many individuals in rural and urban poor communities live with untreated spinal issues, often due to financial barriers and lack of awareness.
I believe that every surgical intervention, no matter how small, can transform a life. By offering free surgeries and consultations in these underserved areas, I aim to restore not just health but hope. Each patient I treat represents a chance to change a life trajectory, enabling them to return to their families and communities with renewed vigor.
Furthermore, I strive to create educational programs that teach preventive measures and the importance of early treatment. By empowering these communities with knowledge, we can ensure a healthier future for generations to come.
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.
