Our Mission

For over 40 years, 3,000 major surgical reconstructions and 30,000 patient visits, the Operation Footprint doctors have been carrying out this mission.

  • To provide free surgical care to indigent children with a variety of inherited (genetic) and acquired conditions of the foot and ankle, such as clubfoot, lingering polio deformities, severe flatfoot and cerebral palsy, etc.
  • To train local surgeons to be able to manage and treat these conditions.
  • Through these life-changing surgeries, to enable these patients to become productive members of the society, free from the stigma and limitations of their deformity
  • To inspire others who we have trained to continue our work and expand our vision.
