The Nigeria Partners on Clubfoot Treatment highlighted that over 10,000 children are born with clubfoot annually in Nigeria. They emphasized the importance of early detection and treatment, advocating for the integration of clubfoot treatment into the public health system. Clubfoot causes difficulties in walking and can lead to social stigmatization and economic limitations. The Ponseti treatment is effective but barriers like healthcare costs and lack of access hinder care. The partners run clinics to provide free treatment and urge government support for wider accessibility and philanthropic contributions.
