In countries where medical
resources are scarce and walking is an important mode of
transportation, foot and ankle problems can be devastating.
Accidents, diabetes, infections and birth defects such as
clubfoot can seriously restrict the ability to
function.
Unfortunately, these countries are usually
severely lacking in health care resources. They rarely have
access to the expertise of podiatric surgeons who are
specifically trained in the care and treatment of the lower
extremity. |
 |
By working through other
non-profit organizations, The Podiatry Institute is organizing
and supporting efforts which provide medical and surgical
treatment to these individuals. Volunteer medical teams travel
to countries in need, and provide medical assistance to the
children, free of
charge. |
 |
You can provide financial
assistance through donations. Funds must be raised to offset
travel and on-site expenses for the volunteer surgical team.
All funds received will be used only for medical
missions. Every dollar will be used directly to defray the
expenses of our volunteer missions. No administrative fees
will be deducted. You can donate surgical instruments and
disposable surgical supplies. Please call us toll-free at
888-833-5682 or use the on-line form below for more
