In the heart of Trivandrum, the Medical College Hospital Clinic, spearheaded by CURE India, serves as a sanctuary of healing and hope for children born with clubfoot. This clinic is not just a medical facility; it is a lifeline for countless families who seek a future for their children free from the physical and emotional burdens of disability. Under the expert guidance of our dedicated State Program Coordinator, Ms. Shini, and a team of highly skilled doctors, the clinic stands at the forefront of a nationwide mission to eliminate clubfoot and ensure that every child can walk into a brighter future.
At CURE India's Trivandrum Clinic, the journey toward a clubfoot-free life begins with a commitment to excellence in care. Our medical team, led by Ms. Shini, works tirelessly to provide children with the most advanced and effective treatments available. The cornerstone of our approach is the Ponseti Method—a non-surgical technique that is recognized worldwide as the gold standard in clubfoot treatment. This method involves gentle manipulation of the foot, followed by the application of a cast to gradually correct the deformity. Over time, with careful monitoring and adjustment, the child’s foot is realigned, allowing them to walk, run, and play just like their peers.
But our care goes beyond medical treatment. At the Trivandrum Clinic, we understand that healing is a holistic process that involves the child, their family, and the community. Our team provides comprehensive support, including education for parents on how to care for their child’s feet at home, guidance on the use of Foot Abduction Braces (FAB) to maintain correction, and ongoing monitoring to ensure long-term success. This holistic approach ensures that children not only receive the best medical care but also the emotional and social support they need to thrive.
The impact of clubfoot extends far beyond the physical. For many families, the diagnosis of clubfoot can bring a sense of fear and uncertainty about their child’s future. Will they be able to walk? Will they face stigma or discrimination? At CURE India, we aim to dispel these fears by empowering both children and their families with knowledge, support, and hope.
Ms. Shini and her team in Trivandrum work closely with parents from the moment of diagnosis, providing them with the information and resources they need to understand the condition and the treatment process. This empowerment is crucial because informed parents are better equipped to advocate for their children and to ensure they receive the consistent care needed for a successful outcome. By demystifying the condition and the treatment process, we help families move from a place of fear to one of hope and optimism.
For the children, the transformation is nothing short of miraculous. As their feet straighten and they begin to take their first steps, they are not just learning to walk—they are reclaiming their future. These children, once burdened by the limitations of clubfoot, are now free to explore the world around them, to play, to learn, and to grow without the shadow of disability. The joy in their eyes and the pride in their parents' hearts are the true measures of our success.
The work being done at the Trivandrum Clinic is a vital part of CURE India’s broader mission: to eradicate clubfoot as a cause of disability in India by 2030. This mission is driven by the belief that every child deserves the chance to live a life unburdened by physical limitations, to pursue their dreams, and to contribute to society. Just as polio was eradicated from India, we are determined to see the day when no child is held back by clubfoot.
With 371 clinics across more than 300 districts in India, CURE India has already treated over 100,000 children since its inception in 2008. The success of our program is built on a unique Public-Private Partnership model, which allows us to collaborate with state governments, medical professionals, and corporate CSR partners to deliver high-quality care to every corner of the country. In Trivandrum, this partnership has enabled us to establish a clinic that is not only a center of medical excellence but also a beacon of hope for the entire region.
