Clubfoot used to mean a life of unemployment and illiteracy for children born in developing countries – but now effective treatments mean they have a better chance at a full life. The condition means that a child cannot put their foot flat on the floor – so in some cases they would not be able to go to school or play easily. A treatment called the Ponseti method gently realigns the foot using surgery, plaster casts and a brace worn at night. Suranjana Tewari has been to one clinic in Mumbai where they are about to test a new kind of low-cost brace.

Suranjana Tewari reports from Pune.

Suranjana Tewari went to find out about one project linking tradition with technology to protect children’s health.
