Clubfoot Camp 2025
From 23rd March to 2nd April 2025, Dr. Ute Terheggen and her team returned to Ndanda for another successful Clubfoot Camp. Specializing in the surgical correction of neglected clubfoot, the team worked hand in hand with our local medical staff to provide care for patients who could no longer benefit from early conservative treatment with casts. This year, 40 patients from across Tanzania were screened and counselled by both visiting and local orthopedic specialists.
The camp was made possible through a strong collaboration involving 4 senior orthopedic surgeons, 2 anesthetists, and 2 theatre nurses from Germany, together with our hospital’s dedicated team. A total of 28 patients underwent surgery, all of which were completed successfully without any complications. The Clubfoot Camp remains a shining example of international teamwork, skill, and compassionate care that restores mobility and dignity to those affected.
The project is generously sponsored by the charity organization Pro Interplast Germany, ensuring that all operations, hospital admissions, and meals for patients are provided completely free of charge. We are immensely thankful for this generous and compassionate support—a true embodiment of humanity that has brought healing and hope to countless individuals in need.
