Transforming Lives at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital: CURE India's Commitment to Eradicating Clubfoot Disabilities

At CURE India, our mission is clear: to ensure every child born with clubfoot in India receives the treatment they need, and to eliminate clubfoot disabilities nationwide. Our dedication to this cause is exemplified in our state-of-the-art clinics, such as the one at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Bhiwani, Maharashtra. Here, we provide exceptional care and comprehensive treatment, transforming the lives of children and empowering them to reach their boundless potential.

The Importance of Early Intervention

Early intervention is crucial in the treatment of clubfoot. The earlier the condition is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcomes for the child. At our Bhiwani clinic, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention to prevent long-term disabilities and enhance the quality of life for affected children.

Key Aspects of Early Intervention:

• Immediate Diagnosis: Newborns are screened for clubfoot at birth, allowing for immediate identification and the commencement of treatment.
• Parental Education: We educate parents on the signs of clubfoot and the importance of early treatment, ensuring they are well-informed and proactive in seeking care for their child.

Comprehensive Treatment Using the Ponseti Method

The Ponseti method, a non-surgical technique for correcting clubfoot, is the cornerstone of our treatment approach at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital. This method involves gentle manipulation and casting of the affected foot, followed by the use of foot abduction braces to maintain the correction.

Steps of the Ponseti Method:

1. Manipulation and Casting: The foot is gently manipulated into the correct position and held in place with a cast. This process is repeated weekly, with each cast gradually moving the foot closer to its proper alignment.
2. Tenotomy: In some cases, a minor surgical procedure called a tenotomy is performed to release tight tendons, further aiding in the correction.
3. Bracing: After the final cast is removed, the child is fitted with foot abduction braces to maintain the correction and prevent relapse. These braces are worn full-time initially, then gradually reduced as the child grows.

Exceptional Care and Support

At the Bhiwani clinic, our dedicated team of doctors, physiotherapists, and support staff work tirelessly to provide exceptional care to children with clubfoot. Our holistic approach ensures that every child receives personalized treatment and support throughout their journey to recovery.

Components of Our Care:

• Expert Medical Team: Our team includes specialists trained in the Ponseti method, ensuring that every child receives the highest standard of care.
• Comprehensive Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide ongoing support to families.
• Emotional and Psychological Support: We recognize the emotional toll that a diagnosis of clubfoot can have on families. Our counselors provide emotional support and resources to help families navigate the treatment process with confidence and hope.

Community Outreach and Awareness

Raising awareness about clubfoot and the importance of early treatment is a vital part of our mission. Through community outreach programs and educational initiatives, we aim to increase awareness and ensure that no child with clubfoot goes untreated.

Key Outreach Initiatives:

• Awareness Campaigns: We conduct awareness campaigns in communities, schools, and healthcare facilities to educate the public about clubfoot and the availability of effective treatment options.
• Training for Healthcare Providers: We provide training for healthcare providers, including ASHA workers and Anganwadi centers, to ensure they can identify and refer children with clubfoot to our clinics for treatment.
