World Clubfoot Day on 3 June raises awareness of clubfoot and the Ponseti method. Around 180,000 babies worldwide are born with clubfoot each year, and untreated clubfoot is one of the leading causes of disability.
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.
Huge thanks to Perth orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Kate Stannage, for managing and mentoring the team, to ensure great outcomes are achieved, and to the Forrest Family for generously supporting our Madagascar Clubfoot Program.
Thanks also to Base Toliara and BlackEarth Minerals for ongoing support in Madagascar.
