Ponseti: Clubfoot problems are major congenital cause of disability. Medical Science does not yet know the reason for this cause. The only way to deal with this problem is early identification and intervention. Since most of the cases are reported late to HRDC and severity of the problems is high, surgical procedure becomes the only choice for many cases. We have just introduced a new concept of managing clubfoot problems in the local level. This concept has been tested in African region and found a very useful technique easy to transfer the skill to field workers. We have 15 field workers carrying out follow – up and social sensitization work. So we are planning to train them to carry out the work. It will take about a year to initiate the work in the field level through the two Satellite centres to begin with.

Networking:

• HRDC is currently working with many grass-root level organizations and complementing the services where required. Also it is continuously collaborating with the organizations for increasing service accessibility and empowering them through training and education activities in doing so.
  
• HRDC is also the active member of the CBR National Network Nepal and Disability Rights Forum.
  

Teaching: Learning Partnership: Recently HRDC has entered into 50 years teaching – learning partnership with Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel Hospital and B&B Hospital. This has helped us tremendously to tap into general services and carry on tertiary level rehab services with quality. MS Program in Ortho Surgery – one of the two training Centres.
