CURE International India began its services from April 2009 with a goal to eradicate disability caused by clubfoot in India. At present over 38,000 children are enrolled in this program nationwide. With over 150 children being born with clubfoot in India every day, the role of CURE International India in establishing free clubfoot clinics is very relevant and significant. Through this initiative, CURE International India aims to enlighten the public that clubfoot can be treated and if neglected, leads to permanent disability. Every month an average of 1000 new children are enrolled from 254 designated weekly clubfoot clinics across all the 29 states in India.
