Our Madagascar clubfoot clinic staff have continued to work hard and keep the clinics running to provide treatment to children born with clubfoot.  In the 12 months to 30 June 2021 the clinics treated 141 children, changing the lives of the children and their families and ensuring a lifetime free from disability.

Huge thanks to Lucile (clinic manager) and the clubfoot teams for continuing to provide excellent and safe clubfoot treatment to babies and children in the Toliara region during a very challenging year.

Thanks also to our Clubfoot Manager, Dr Kate Stannage (Board member and Head of the Orthopaedics Department at Perth Children’s Hospital) for managing and supporting the clubfoot program.

ADFA acknowledges support for its Madagascar programs from St John of God Subiaco Hospital, Base Resources (through Base Toliara in Madagascar) and The Very Good Foundation (via Perpetual).
