Jamshedpur EW News: A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between the District Administration, Tata Steel Foundation, and Anushka Foundation for the treatment of clubfoot disease. The signing took place in the presence of Deputy Commissioner Shri Ananya Mittal in the conference room of the Collectorate.
The MOU was signed by Civil Surgeon Dr. Juzar Manji, representatives of Tata Steel Foundation, and Anushka Foundation. Under this agreement, a weekly clubfoot clinic will be operationalized at Sadar Hospital, Jamshedpur, in the coming days. Children under the age of two will be identified, and their parents and guardians will be provided with all necessary information and appropriate treatment.
Deputy Commissioner emphasized the importance of early detection and treatment of clubfoot disease in children. He stated that this collaboration between the District Administration and Tata Steel Foundation aims to address the lack of adequate awareness about clubfoot disease and its treatment, especially in remote rural areas.
Clubfoot disease is congenital and results in the twisting of a child’s foot. Treatment is possible, involving a plaster cast for five to seven weeks. In severe cases, surgery may be required, followed by corrective measures. Anushka Foundation will soon commence treatment for this condition at Sadar Hospital in Jamshedpur.
Civil Surgeon Dr. Juzar Manji, representatives from Tata Steel Foundation, Anushka Foundation, and other relevant stakeholders were present at the event.
