As we count down just two days to World Clubfoot Day 2025 on June 3rd, global partners, health advocates, and families are coming together to raise awareness and take action to end the burden of untreated clubfoot for every child, everywhere.
The 2025 theme, “Ensuring Every Child Has Access to Treatment and a Brighter Future,” reinforces the global commitment to scaling up early detection, timely intervention, and inclusive care for children born with clubfoot—a common yet highly treatable birth condition affecting one in every 800 newborns worldwide.
Despite proven, low-cost solutions like the #PonsetiMethod, many children in low- and middle-income countries continue to live with the devastating effects of untreated clubfoot, limiting their mobility, dignity, and opportunity. This is not just a health issue—it’s a matter of #HealthEquity, #ChildHealth, and human rights.
Organizations such as @MiracleFeet, @GlobalClubfoot, @NG_PLAN, @PLANFoundationNG, @planfoundationng are leading the charge globally and locally to close the treatment gap. In Nigeria, PLAN Foundation continues to work with communities and healthcare providers to provide accessible, affordable, and effective clubfoot treatment solutions.
As we approach #WorldClubfootDay, let’s use our voices and platforms to:
- Spread #ClubfootAwareness
- Promote early and effective #clubfoottreatment
- Support initiatives that uphold #GlobalHealth and inclusive care
- Champion the rights of every child to walk, run, and dream
