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
Urban poor communities face a unique set of health challenges, including high rates of chronic diseases. As a physician, I focus on preventive care, encouraging regular check-ups and screenings. Education is vital; I work to raise awareness about lifestyle changes that can reduce health risks. By creating community workshops, I empower residents to take charge of their health. Additionally, addressing social determinants of health-like access to fresh food and safe spaces for exercise-is essential for long-term change. My goal is to instill a sense of ownership over their health, fostering a healthier future.
Point Of View
As a spine surgeon, I view my role as a vital service to those who cannot access the care they need. Many rural and urban poor individuals suffer in silence, living with pain that affects their daily lives. My commitment is to change that.
Through free spine surgeries and health camps, I aim to bring hope and healing to these communities. I believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their socio-economic status. My goal is to alleviate suffering and restore functionality, enabling individuals to engage fully in their lives.
Additionally, I work to raise awareness about spinal health, teaching preventive measures to reduce the incidence of spinal disorders. By focusing on education, we can empower communities to take charge of their health. Together, we can create a future where pain is no longer a barrier to living life to the fullest.
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.
