Founder’s Message

“When I see children and adults struggling with the burden of spinal deformities or living in constant pain, I feel a deep responsibility to help them reclaim their lives. My mother, Mrs. Kadambini Acharya, instilled in me the values of compassion, service, and perseverance. In her memory, I established KOST – Kadambini Charitable Trust in 2011 to make advanced spinal and orthopaedic care accessible to those who need it most.”

“Over the years, our team has organized free medical camps, conducted life-changing spine surgeries, and set up rehabilitation programs that have given countless patients a second chance at living a pain-free, active life. We have witnessed stories of transformation — from children standing tall after scoliosis surgery to elderly patients walking without pain for the first time in years.”

“Our mission goes beyond treatment. We aim to create awareness, train the next generation of healthcare professionals, and build facilities like the upcoming Regional Institute of Spine & Sports Rehabilitation to serve communities in every corner of the country.”

“This journey is only possible because of the generosity and support of well-wishers, donors, and volunteers. Together, we can continue to transform lives, one patient at a time.”
