CURE International UK: Curing Clubfoot in Malawi
The KFF became aware of the work clubfoot programme that CURE are running in Malawi, after getting in touch with Dr Chris Lavy, who is very involved in setting up the CURE Malawi hospital. Dave Jenkins has visited Malawi and has fond memories of the country and its people, so we decided we would like to start supporting this particular regional programme.
We have provided funds to the Beit CURE International Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. Opened in 2002, it is a 58-bed teaching hospital that specializes in treating the orthopaedic needs of children and adults. The clubfoot programme serves children with physical disabilities regardless of their ethnic background or religious affiliation. The hospital performs an extraordinary 2,500 plus life-changing surgeries each year.
