Our vision is to see India free of disability from Clubfoot. No Child should be left without treatment.
CURE International India Trust (CURE India) began its service from April 2009 with a goal to eliminate disability caused by clubfoot in India and as of July 2022 over 82,000 children are enrolled for free treatment through 362 designated weekly clubfoot clinics spread over all the 29 states in India. Nearly 7000 doctors are trained in the Ponseti Method of Clubfoot Management. With over 150 children being born with clubfoot in India every day, the role of CURE India in establishing free clubfoot clinics is very relevant and significant. Through this initiative, CURE India aims to enlighten the public that clubfoot can be treated and neglected clubfoot leads to lifetime disability. From its inception CURE India has worked primarily with government healthcare programs. This not only helps CURE India establish clubfoot clinics which provide care at no cost to families, but also allows CURE India to reach the poorest of the poor. With the partnering state governments, CURE India agreed to manage weekly clubfoot clinics with the orthopedic department in government medical colleges and hospitals.
In the partnership, the respective state government commits to assign doctors who will participate in the free clubfoot weekly clinics and ensure that the casting materials are available for the treatment. State office and counselling space/room are also allotted. Major roles of CURE India in this partnership are:
