Here at JIMSH, they are coming to perform the life-altering spinal surgeries of children suffering from scoliosis and other complex spinal deformities — children who, would otherwise be left to endure a lifetime of disability due to financial constraints and the complex nature of the spine disease.
Moreover, these surgeons are assembling under one roof of JIMSH in such a grand scale to provide a complimentary service to the necessitous patients (children) from the length & breadth of India who have been denied treatment due to financial hardships and lack of expertise treatment.
To give a brief about scoliosis, which mostly occurs during the growth spurt just before puberty in which all 33 bones of the spine are deformed and needs a rectification and needs an expansive intricate, high-precision corrective surgery spanning more than 6-10 hours.
This season eleven young patients from across India, battling severe scoliosis and spinal deformities, will undergo life-changing surgeries and will receive a gift of standing tall by restoring their mobility, dignity, and future.
JIMSH is privileged and indebted towards all the spine surgeons and medical stalwarts across the globe for their continued participation towards an amazing endowment for their voluntary and honorary contribution for this great cause.
This event is not just about medical excellence; it’s about empowering the unheard voices of children suffering from spinal deformities across India. Your presence at this monumental event will help amplify the message of accessible, world-class healthcare for all.
