Scoliosis, a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, often poses challenges in mobility, confidence, and overall well-being. Our hospital has emerged as a beacon of hope for individuals affected by this condition, offering advanced surgical interventions, compassionate care, and a path to a pain-free life. Our team of skilled orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and support staff have demonstrated exceptional dedication and expertise in correcting spinal deformities, restoring not just physical alignment but also the confidence and vitality of the patients. The 750 successful surgeries stand as a testament to the hospital’s commitment to patient-centric care and innovative medical solutions, especially supporting the Economically challenged patients.
With time we have realized that there is a large segment of kids from rural areas who are in far flung remote areas without access to health care for these conditions. Hence we are reaching out to rural doctors to screen children from schools in these areas and intimate us so that we can address this. We hope that with more screening and awareness and more funding we will be able to treat more and more children effectively so that no child is denied this surgery for financial reasonsโ he was quoted as saying
