In a significant stride toward raising awareness about clubfoot and expanding the reach of CURE India’s mission, Ms. Priya, our dedicated Assistant State Program Coordinator from Mangalore District, Karnataka, recently took to the airwaves on FM 107.8's Radio Sarang Programme. This live telecast was more than just a broadcast; it was a powerful opportunity to connect with a wider audience, spreading essential information about the identification and referral of children with clubfoot.
During the program, Ms. Priya shared her expertise and insights on a condition that, though treatable, often goes unaddressed due to lack of awareness. Her message was clear: early identification and timely referral of children with clubfoot can drastically improve their chances of leading a life free from disability. By educating the public on the signs of clubfoot and the importance of seeking treatment, she empowered listeners to take action, either for their own families or for others in their communities.
This initiative is part of CURE India’s broader mission to eradicate disability from clubfoot by 2030. With over 371 clinics across India and more than 100,000 children treated since 2008, CURE India is leading the charge in transforming lives. However, reaching this goal requires the active involvement of the community. By using platforms like Radio Sarang, CURE India can effectively disseminate crucial information, ensuring that no child with clubfoot is left untreated.
The live telecast on Radio Sarang is a testament to the power of media in driving social change. Through this broadcast, Ms. Priya not only educated listeners about clubfoot but also highlighted the role that every individual can play in helping to eliminate this disability from India. Whether it’s parents recognizing the signs in their newborns, community members encouraging families to seek treatment, or medical professionals referring children to specialized clinics, everyone has a part to play.
Radio, with its broad reach and deep penetration into rural and urban areas alike, is an invaluable tool in our awareness campaigns. It allows us to reach audiences who may not have access to other forms of media, ensuring that our message spreads far and wide. By leveraging such platforms, we can break down the barriers of ignorance and misinformation, paving the way for a future where no child in India suffers from the limitations of untreated clubfoot.
CURE India’s mission is not just about treating a condition; it’s about transforming lives and creating a future where disability from clubfoot is a thing of the past. But to achieve this, we need the support of everyone—listeners, medical professionals, corporate partners, and the general public.
Here’s how you can help:
