Culmination of Hope and Strategy: Concluding the North East Programme Evaluation in Kohima

Day 3 in Nagaland: Uniting Regional Teams to Secure a Brighter, Disability-Free Future Across the North East

What does it really take to create lasting change for children with clubfoot? It takes committed people, continuous learning, deep collaboration, and an unwavering willingness to improve every step of the journey.

CURE India successfully concluded its intensive three-day North East Programme Evaluation & Staff Capacity Building initiative in Kohima, Nagaland. Bringing together our dedicated Clubfoot Counsellors from across the region, the final day served as a powerful culmination of review, strategic alignment, and renewed purpose.

Focusing on Family-Centred Care and Action Planning

While the opening days established baseline evaluations and shared field experiences, Day 3 centered on translating insights into concrete, actionable strategies:

• Refining Family-Centred Care: Counsellors explored advanced techniques to support parents emotionally and practically, ensuring families remain engaged from the initial casting phase through long-term bracing with Foot Abduction Braces (FABs).
• Actionable Roadmaps: Teams developed targeted regional action plans to streamline follow-ups, enhance data tracking, and bridge gaps in remote outreach.
• The Power of the Ponseti Standard: Reinforced training on the Ponseti method ensured every counsellor is equipped to champion non-surgical, gold-standard care in their home districts.

Unified Leadership Across State Lines

The success of the three-day initiative was driven by expert facilitation from our national leadership:

• Dr. Santhosh George, Director & Founder, CURE India
• Dr. Atula Jamir, Program Manager
• Mr. Anand, CURE India National Team

We extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible regional teams from Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Sikkim, as well as our Assam team for joining virtually. Your active participation, invaluable field insights, and relentless dedication are the bedrock of our success in the North East.

"Together, we are building stronger programmes so that every child with clubfoot receives timely treatment and the opportunity to walk towards a brighter future."
