How early diagnosis, timely treatment, and dedicated healthcare professionals helped Poorvi take her first steps towards a brighter future.
Identified at birth with clubfoot in Balbahara village, Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, baby Poorvi’s journey towards correction began just days after she was born.
The Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) team brought her to the District Hospital, ensuring she received timely attention and access to appropriate treatment.
Under the guidance of our District Counsellor, Ms. Sunaina Chauhatha, Poorvi underwent treatment through the Ponseti method, which included serial casting, followed by a tenotomy at Medical College Shahdol. She also received her corrective brace from CURE India to support the correction and maintain the results.
Today, Poorvi’s feet are completely corrected, and she is ready to run, play, and enjoy childhood alongside her brother.
Her journey highlights the importance of early identification, timely intervention, and continued care in treating clubfoot. With the right support, children born with clubfoot can look forward to active and fulfilling lives.
Behind every successful treatment journey are dedicated healthcare professionals and frontline workers who reach families, especially in remote communities, and connect children with the care they need.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the RBSK team, healthcare professionals, and everyone involved in Poorvi’s journey.
From her first diagnosis to her corrected feet, Poorvi’s story reminds us that every child deserves the chance to walk, run, play, and thrive. Together, we move closer to a Clubfoot-Free India!
