To enhance horizontal spread of awareness of spine surgery amongst the budding orthopaedic surgeons, the foundation has taken up the noble assignment of conducting BASIC SPINE WORKSHOPS. The foundation has successfully conducted two such workshops at Nashik, Kolhapur and Kalwa.

“It is better to perform simple and basic things efficiently rather than struggle to do advance and complex things poorly.”
