Today in clinic we had two cases in which the kids had previous treatment for their club feet at other hospitals, yet both with no improvement. Thankfully they
were both directed to CURE and are now receiving proper treatment for their club feet!
Daniela is a five-month old baby who has already been casted fourteen times at another hospital. For a baby the casting process should only take four casts, six at the most. She is now receiving treatment with bar shoes to correct her feet and will be back in one month for a check up!
Bella is a two-year old girl who has been getting casting treatment for nearly her whole life at a hospital in Tegucigalpa. When the casts were continuing to fail her improvement, a friend told her mother about CURE, so she made the 4 hour trip to our hospital. Even though we have two doctors in Tegucigalpa with whom we work with, she prefers to make the trip every week here to be sure that her daughter is getting the proper treatment.
