Speaking on the occasion, Sri.

I congratulate the hospital on the milestone and thank the doctors to have played a critical role in the journey to recovery of such patients."
Sri. Kishanlal Kothari, Honarable President of Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Group of Hospitals said. ‘We are proud to announce the completion of 750 successful scoliosis surgeries. This significant milestone marks a testament to the hospital's commitment to excellence in spinal care and its impact on the lives of patients suffering from scoliosis. Our doctors have made us proud and we at Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital heartily congratulate and appreciate the efforts and dedication of the doctors.
Dr. Mahesh B. H., Head, Department of Spine & Joint Surgery said, “On this occasion of successful completion of 750 scoliosis surgeries we would like to thank everyone who has been our backbone in this endeavor. 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 reasons” he was quoted as saying
About the success story of treating 750 scoliosis patients
Vitus Clinical services, an integral part of the Department of Spine and joint surgery, pain and palliative care at Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain hospital is one such center where the entire range of spine surgeries are done at affordable cost.
Since the inception of the department in 2010, a total 750 scoliosis surgeries has been performed. Of the 750 surgeries, more than 300 surgeries were possible due to the financial support for deserving patients. These are significant numbers and probably the largest from a single institution in this part of the country.
A large part of these patients are from low socioeconomic families who cannot afford these surgeries for which funding has been arranged from various NGOs (like Jai Shiv Shakti Health and €educational foundation, Have a Heart, Child Help, Sun foundation etc). A significant donation has come from the hospital and the doctors who have contributed generously for this..
With a focus on innovative medical solutions, expertise in orthopedic surgeries and compassionate care, the hospital has become a trusted name in spinal treatments, transforming the lives of patients affected by various spinal conditions, including scoliosis.
