The first surgeon and doctor in India who decided to devote himself to spinal health and created the superspecialty that doctors have adhered to and practised.After having graduated from Mumbai's KEM Medical College, he was employed as an orthopaedic surgeon. The growing curiosity about the expanding area of spine treatment brought him to different countries to find out more about it. In the end He decided to focus on the spine and set out to establish India's very first spine clinic in KEM Hospital. The spine department was doing amazing work, but it was in need of more funding to further develop the research.
Because the facility was financed with the help of the state, it was subject to restrictions. That's why he accepted an invitation from Hinduja Hospital to set up an all-spine department within their hospital, he was a doctor. Shekhar Bhojraj considered it a chance to gain more funds to support research into the spine. Hinduja was India's first hospital owned privately to host an ultra-specialty hospital within India. However the doctor who was Dr. Shekhar Bhojraj was not content to cater only to the rich and determined to provide the same services to the less fortunate and less fortunate. This was the beginning of the Spine Foundation with an aim for affordable healthcare that is accessible to everyone. |
