CLUBFOOT IN ZAMBOANGA: POINTS TO SHARE

Let us learn a little more about Clubfoot!

We would like to maximize the social media and the trimedia platform to: 
1. Increase public awareness on CLUBFOOT.
2. To educate the stakeholders including the community, health providers and media about CLUBFOOT for better understanding.

GOALS:

*To support the Global Clubfoot Initiative #runfree2030, with the VISION that all children with CLUBFOOT can walk and run free from disability by the year 2030.

*To increase the reach of CLUBFOOT treatment to the whole Zamboanga Peninsula and neighboring islands.

The MESSAGES we would like to share are:

*Clubfoot is TREATABLE.
*The Ponseti Method is the minimally invasive (non-surgical) way of treatment using gentle manipulation, casting and bracing and in some patients, tenotomy.

*With the support of a US NGO, MIRACLE FEET and the Philippine partner, the Philippine NGO Council, Clubfoot Treatment is FREE in more than 19 hospitals and clinics in the Philippines
~~~~~ refer to the Philippine National Clubfoot Program
