Australian Doctors for Africa celebrates World Clubfoot Day on 3 June by thanking and acknowledging our Clubfoot staff in Madagascar and Diversity Action Network in Somaliland for making a huge difference in the lives of many children every year.
Clubfoot is the most common musculoskeletal birth deformity, affecting 200,000 newborn children each year. The clinics treat over 200 children a year using the Ponseti Method.
We thank orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Kate Stannage, for many years of managing our Clubfoot program, by supporting, training and mentoring the teams.
You can help support our clubfoot programs in Madagascar and Somaliland by donating (https://ausdocafrica.org/donate/) which will help us to continue to provide a vital free resource to local communities and enable children to live a life free from disability.
