World Clubfoot Day on 3 June raises awareness of clubfoot and the Ponseti method. We thank and acknowledge the great work performed by our ADFA clubfoot staff in Madagascar and the team at Diversity Action Network in Somaliland, who make a huge difference in the lives of over 200 children every year.
Around 180,000 babies worldwide are born with clubfoot each year. Untreated clubfoot is one of the leading causes of disability.
Huge thanks to Perth orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Kate Stannage, for many years of providing support, training and mentoring to the teams, and to Andrew and Nicola Forrest for generously supporting our Madagascar Clubfoot Program.
Thanks also to Base Toliara and BlackEarth Minerals for ongoing support in Madagascar.
