A child born with clubfoot needs effective and early treatment. Neglected or untreated clubfoot leads to permanent disability and is a barrier to participating fully in economic and social life. A child with neglected clubfoot cannot walk correctly, run, play or go to school like other children. These children face increased psychological and socio-economic burdens, which is a strain on their family, their community, and the economy STEPS goal is that every child born in Southern Africa with clubfoot has early and effective treatment, and access to care by a health care provider trained in the Ponseti method.
