Beyond the Operating Room: Why Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Ponseti Training is a Step Towards a Clubfoot-Free India
To every committed Orthopaedic Surgeon, this is a direct call to join a national movement dedicated to PediatricCare and HealthcareExcellence. CURE India is proud to announce that we have successfully trained over 11,000 orthopaedic surgeons in the life-changing Ponseti method, equipping them with the expertise to provide effective, non-surgical treatment for children with clubfoot. This incredible figure represents a monumental step toward empowering our nation’s medical fraternity, transforming the approach to ClubfootTreatment from a complex surgical challenge into a gentle, highly successful outpatient procedure. By mastering this method, you gain not just a technical skill, but the ability to deliver unparalleled hope and mobility to thousands of families.
The reason this specialized Orthopaedic Surgeon Ponseti Training is so vital is rooted in evidence and empathy. The Ponseti method, which utilizes a series of casts and a minor Achilles tenotomy, yields far superior, long-term functional and cosmetic outcomes compared to invasive, traditional surgical interventions. For a child, avoiding extensive surgery means faster recovery, fewer complications, and a significantly reduced chance of future foot stiffness. We urge orthopaedic surgeons to seize this opportunity to enhance their skills, ensuring they offer the gold standard of care. This dedication to continuous Medical Training ensures that every practitioner becomes a crucial champion in our cause, helping us provide quality free treatment across the country.
This commitment to scaling up expertise is what defines our organization’s credibility. CURE India is globally recognized as running the largest clubfoot program in the world, having treated the most number of clubfoot children and transformed countless lives with the simplest, most effective intervention available. Our operational ethics and monumental social impact are why we are honored to be recognized as one of the Top 10 NGOs/Non-Profits in India. The successful training of over 11,000 surgeons is a direct result of our focused resource allocation and the complete transparency of fund usage. Every trained doctor expands our capacity, reinforcing our massive national presence and the value of every single donation.
The time for full mobilization is urgent. We are currently treating 33% of children born with clubfoot in India. However, our ambitious RunFree2030 initiative is focused on scaling up our efforts to reach 70% of these children in the next five years. This aggressive target is entirely dependent on expanding the number of highly skilled practitioners capable of delivering this method correctly. We invite you to join this collective action—first, by registering for our training to advance your expertise and secure your place as a leader in pediatric orthopaedics; and second, by supporting the infrastructure that makes this training widely accessible.
This is your opportunity to step into a role that truly makes a difference. Join us in our journey to ensure that no child with clubfoot is ever denied the chance to walk, run, and play.
