Federal Medical Centre Asaba joins healthcare organizations and advocates around the world in commemorating World Clubfoot Day on June 3, 2026.

The day marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Ignacio Ponsetti, whose groundbreaking Ponseti Method revolutionized the treatment of clubfoot and has helped millions of children worldwide achieve improved mobility and quality of life.

The theme for this year's observance, "Early Treatment, Every Child Should Run Free by 2030," underscores the importance of early diagnosis and prompt intervention in the management of clubfoot. With timely treatment, children born with this condition can grow up to lead healthy, active, and productive lives.

Federal Medical Centre Asaba remains committed to promoting awareness, encouraging early presentation for treatment, and supporting initiatives that improve access to quality healthcare services for children with clubfoot.

As we mark this important day, we call on parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders to work together to ensure that no child is left behind and that every child has the opportunity to walk, run, and thrive.
