TREATMENT AND TRAINING: THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, MIRACLEFEET AND OUR PARTNERS ENROLLED OVER 8,900 NEW CHILDREN IN CLUBFOOT TREATMENT, AND OUR REACH GREW TO 28 TOTAL COUNTRIES AND 258 CLINICS. THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHILDREN ENROLLED IN TREATMENT TO OVER 48,000 SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S FOUNDING IN 2010. MIRACLEFEET CONTINUED TO WORK IN LIBERIA, GUATEMALA, THE PHILIPPINES, NICARAGUA, ECUADOR, PARAGUAY, BOLIVIA, SRI LANKA, BRAZIL, TANZANIA, ZIMBABWE, MYANMAR, NEPAL, THE REPUBLIC OF CONGO, UGANDA, SENEGAL, CAMBODIA, INDIA, MADAGASCAR, INDONESIA, GUINEA, BANGLADESH, NIGERIA, MALI, THE GAMBIA, AND SOMALIA - WHILE ADDING PROGRAMS IN MOROCCO AND SOUTH SUDAN.100% OF THE TREATMENT IS PROVIDED BY MIRACLEFEET'S LOCAL PARTNERS, PRIMARILY IN PUBLIC OR CHARITABLE HOSPITALS THAT PROVIDE CARE TO LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. ALL MIRACLEFEET PARTNERS USE THE GOLD-STANDARD, NON-SURGICAL PONSETI METHOD OF TREATMENT. MIRACLEFEET FUNDS ARE USED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL SUPPLIES, ESPECIALLY FOOT ABDUCTION BRACES; CLINIC ASSISTANTS TO PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP AND PARENT EDUCATION; CAMPAIGNS TO EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY ABOUT CLUBFOOT AND THE AVAILABILITY OF TREATMENT; AND ADVOCACY TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS TO INTEGRATE CLUBFOOT MANAGEMENT INTO THEIR SERVICE OFFERINGS. ALL MIRACLEFEET PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH LOCAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH, PUBLIC HOSPITALS AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTED TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF DISABILITY. SINCE BRACING IS SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE COST STRUCTURE AND SUCCESS OF TREATMENT, MIRACLEFEET PARTNERED WITH THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY DESIGN SCHOOL, SUNCAST, AND CLARKS SHOES TO DEVELOP A LOW-COST, EASY-TO-USE BRACE THAT CAN BE PRODUCED EASILY AT SCALE AS THE NEED FOR BRACES GROWS IN LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, MIRACLEFEET DISTRIBUTED OVER 6,500 PAIRS OF SHOES AND OVER 4,000 BARS (BRACE COMPONENTS) TO 23 COUNTRIES, AND WE LAUNCHED AND SHIPPED A NEW SMALL 150MM MIRACLEFEET BAR, TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE YOUNGEST PATIENTS. TRAINING IS CRITICAL FOR ATTAINING CONSISTENT QUALITY AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. MIRACLEFEET HAS ADOPTED THE GLOBAL CLUBFOOT INITIATIVE'S AFRICA CLUBFOOT TRAINING PROGRAM (ACT), DEVELOPED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD AND ENDORSED BY THE UK'S ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS, AS OUR STANDARD TRAINING CURRICULUM AND HELD TWO IN-PERSON TRAINING-OF-TRAINER COURSES IN INDIA AND EAST AFRICA. THE 26 PROVIDERS WHO COMPLETED THESE COURSES IN TURN CONDUCTED OVER 50 TRAININGS OF 750+ HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, DELIVERING BASIC AND ADVANCED ACT PONSETI TRAINING IN 22 COUNTRIES. CLINICAL TRAINING IS SUPPLEMENTED BY TRAINING AND COACHING IN OTHER PROGRAMMATIC SKILLS SUCH AS COLLECTION AND USE OF DATA, MAPPING, STRATEGIC PLANNING, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, HR, PARENT EDUCATION AND EARLY IDENTIFICATION, OUTREACH, AND GOVERNMENT ADVOCACY.
INNOVATION: MIRACLEFEET PROVIDES LOW-COST TOOLS FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND HOSPITALS SEEKING TO ADDRESS UNTREATED CLUBFOOT. MIRACLEFEET DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED CAST, A MOBILE APPLICATION TO COLLECT PATIENT DATA, USING DIMAGI'S COMMCARE PLATFORM, AND CAST IS NOW BEING USED ACROSS 25 COUNTRIES, TRANSFORMING HOW WE GATHER AND USE REAL-TIME DATA WORLDWIDE AND AMPLIFYING OUR FOCUS ON TREATMENT PRECISION AND QUALITY. WE LAUNCHED THE WORLD'S FIRST 3D INTERACTIVE SIMULATION OF A CLUBFOOT AND COMPLETED PRODUCTION OF SIX E-LEARNING MODULES (WITH OPENPEDIATRICS, A DIVISION OF BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL) OF ACT ONLINE, A DIGITAL VERSION OF THE GLOBAL CLUBFOOT INITIATIVE'S AFRICA CLUBFOOT TRAINING (ACT). TOGETHER, THE VIRTUAL COURSE AND 3D MODEL WILL SUPPLEMENT AND ENHANCE HANDS-ON LEARNING AND WILL SERVE AS CRITICAL REFERENCES FOR NEW AND EXPERIENCED PROVIDERS ALIKE.
