Initiatives By

Dr. Sameer Kalkotwar

Rural areas often experience high rates of food insecurity, impacting overall health. I support initiatives like community gardens and nutrition education programs to improve access to fresh produce. Collaborating with local farmers and organizations fosters partnerships that strengthen community ties. By promoting healthy eating habits and providing resources for cooking and meal planning, we can empower individuals to make informed dietary choices. This holistic approach not only enhances nutrition but also promotes overall health and well-being.

Point Of View

"Educating Communities on Spinal Health and Wellness"

As a spine surgeon, I am inspired by the connections I make with my patients, especially those from rural and urban communities. Many individuals suffer from debilitating spinal conditions without access to proper care. My mission is to foster relationships built on trust and compassion.

Through outreach programs, I provide free spine consultations and surgeries to those in need. Each interaction is an opportunity to inspire hope and change lives. It's not just about the procedures I perform; it's about understanding the unique challenges these individuals face and providing them with the support they deserve.

Additionally, I focus on educating communities about spinal health, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures. By empowering individuals with knowledge, we can foster a culture of health awareness and proactive care. Together, we can create a brighter future for underserved populations.

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.
