Mary Chan has been a dedicated Clubfoot Clinic Coordinator since 2015. In her role, she serves as a vital link between medical practitioners and families, managing appointment schedules and providing essential counseling through all three phases of treatment.

Mary’s commitment often takes her beyond the clinic walls; for instance, she is currently traveling to the Koh Preah commune to conduct a home visit. She is investigating why a specific family has missed appointments—a situation complicated by extreme poverty and illness within the household. While the program provides transport subsidies for the child, the family’s broader financial and health struggles fall outside the program's current scope, presenting a significant challenge to consistent care.

Sela Veha, a boy born on September 6, 2024, from Sthapor village, Ampil Bramdoeom commune, Bovel district, Battambang province, was admitted to the hospital on October 24, 2024, with a diagnosis of clubfoot. He has successfully completed 12 clinic visits involving casting, tenotomy, and bracing. Now, Sela Veha can walk, run, and play with other children.

This has been a very successful treatment journey; however, he continues to follow up with bracing. The family is very grateful to the medical doctors and sincerely thanks Miracle Feet and NextSteps Cambodia for their support in making this successful treatment possible.

In Cambodia, it is estimated that 350 to 400 children are born with clubfoot each year. To ensure these children can walk, run, and lead healthy lives, MiracleFeet and NextSteps, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the National Pediatric Hospital, have established specialized clubfoot clinics across the country.

The Gold Standard of Care: The Ponseti Method
These clinics provide treatment using the Ponseti method, a world-renowned, non-surgical technique. This method involves a series of gentle manipulations and plaster casts that gradually correct the foot’s position. Our clinical teams are highly trained and supported by MiracleFeet to provide international standards of care.

Why Early Referral Matters
Early intervention is the key to success. If you are a healthcare provider or a community member who identifies a child with clubfoot:
• Refer immediately: Treatment is most effective when started shortly after birth.
• Avoid delay: Early treatment reduces the need for invasive surgery later in life.
• Access specialized care: There are currently 10 professional clubfoot sites nationwide.

List of Professional Clubfoot Clinics
Refer to the nearest site as early as possible to begin the journey to healing.

If your little one was recently diagnosed with clubfoot, knowing the road ahead is the best way to feel prepared! 👣 The Ponseti Method is the gold standard for treatment, but it’s a journey that requires teamwork between doctors and parents.
There are three main milestones to know: 1️⃣ Casting: Gentle, weekly adjustments to slowly move the foot. 2️⃣ Tenotomy: A quick procedure to release the heel cord. 3️⃣ Bracing: The "maintenance" phase to keep those feet perfectly in place!
Knowledge is power. Understanding the "why" behind each step makes the journey so much smoother. ❤️
