Director Health Services Merged Districts Khyber Pakhtukhwa on Tuesday inaugurated a club foot clinic at Miranshah Center for Rehabilitation of the Physically Handicapped.
The clinic was inaugurated on the direction of Dr. Niaz Mohammad Afridi, Director, Health Services, Marj Area. Club foot was a congenital disability in which a child’s feet are congenitally crooked. About 3,000 children in Waziristan were currently suffering from clubfoot and were being treated in various hospitals in the province. These children were given weekly plasters, which could go up to 5 to 20 plasters. It might be recalled that there was no center for the treatment of the said disability in North Waziristan before.
