Expanding the Reach of Care: New CURE Clubfoot Clinic Opens in Namakkal

Bringing Mobility Home: A New Landmark for Specialized, Free Clubfoot Treatment in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu.

At CURE India, our mission is to ensure that geography is never a barrier to a child's health. We are delighted to announce a significant expansion of our network with the inauguration of a new CURE Clubfoot Clinic at the Namakkal Government Medical College Hospital. This new facility brings specialized, free clubfoot care directly to the families of Namakkal, ensuring that world-class treatment is accessible close to home.

A Milestone for Sustainable Recovery

The inauguration was more than just a ceremony; it was a day of tangible progress for families in the region. A highlight of the event was the distribution of Foot Abduction Braces (FABs) to children who have successfully completed the initial correction phase of their treatment.

• The Role of the FAB: These braces are critical. They serve as the "guardian" of the corrected foot, maintaining the position achieved during the casting phase and preventing relapse, allowing children to develop strong, healthy feet as they grow.
• The Ponseti Standard: With this new clinic, families now have local, consistent access to the Ponseti method—the global gold standard for clubfoot treatment—which is non-surgical, highly effective, and life-changing.

Building Partnerships for Every Child

The successful launch of this clinic is a testament to the power of institutional collaboration. We extend our deepest gratitude to the distinguished leadership at Namakkal Government Medical College Hospital for their vision and partnership:

• Dr. Murgalakshmi (Dean)
• Dr. Gunasekaran (Medical Superintendent)
• Dr. Sampath Kumar (Head of Department)
• Dr. Leeladharan (RMO)
• Dr. Sivakumar (Faculty member)

Their commitment ensures that our mission—to scale our national reach to 70% of all children born with clubfoot in India by 2030 (#RunFree2030)—is supported by the best clinical minds in Tamil Nadu.

"If your baby was born with clubfoot, remember that early treatment gives the best results. Clubfoot is completely treatable. Don't delay—the earlier a child starts care, the better the outcome."
