Transforming Lives in Chhattisgarh: CURE India’s Clubfoot Awareness Program in Bijapur

✨🏥 Bringing Hope, One Step at a Time! 🏥✨

On January 6, 2025, CURE India proudly partnered with local schools, hospitals, and Anganwadi centers in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh, as part of its Clubfoot Awareness Program. This initiative was led by Ms. Monika Hapka, District Program Coordinator, whose dedication and passion played a crucial role in spreading awareness and ensuring that every child affected by clubfoot receives the care they deserve.

Spreading Awareness for Early Intervention

During the visit, Ms. Monika engaged with teachers, healthcare providers, and community workers, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment of clubfoot. By identifying the condition at birth and referring children to CURE India’s specialized clinics, we can prevent lifelong disability and empower children with the ability to walk, run, and lead active lives.

The sessions focused on:
✅ Understanding clubfoot and its impact on mobility
✅ The Ponseti Method – the gold standard for clubfoot treatment
✅ The role of schools and Anganwadi centers in early detection
✅ The importance of parental awareness and timely medical intervention

Building Stronger Communities Through Collaboration

By partnering with schools, hospitals, and local healthcare providers, CURE India continues to bridge the gap between awareness and action. These collaborations strengthen grassroots healthcare efforts and ensure that even children in remote areas of Chhattisgarh receive the life-changing treatment they need.

💙 Every child deserves the chance to walk confidently into the future. With continued support from dedicated individuals, healthcare professionals, and generous donors, we are moving closer to our goal of a clubfoot-free India by 2030.
