Sustainability Strategy:

This project's theme is sustainability. As stated above, "the Uganda Sustainable Clubfoot Care Project works hand in hand with these standards and strategies by

•    Aiming to raise awareness of the clubfoot deformity throughout Uganda.
•    Training local healthcare personnel to provide treatment with a method that is socially acceptable and economically viable for Uganda."
The project partners have emphasized this to policy makers within the Ministry of Health and the Ministry has already expressed the desire to incorporate the principles of clubfoot management espoused by this project within their next five year plan (HSSP2 – Health Sector Strategic Plan 2: 2005-2010).
