Join us on Friday, October 30, at 10:00 a.m. (Washington, D. C. time) for the "Virtual Course Launch: Clubfoot can be treated: A course for healthcare workers". BackgroundClubfoot is one of the most common congenital musculoskeletal disorders and is a preventable cause of disability when not identified and treated in a timely manner. However, through early detection, appropriate referral and access to appropriate treatment, it is possible to achieve favorable functional outcomes and avoid the consequences associated with lack of treatment. In this context, the training of health workers plays a key role. Timely recognition of clubfoot from birth, appropriate guidance to families, and early referral to trained services for its treatment are essential components for improving access to and outcomes of care. In 2023, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in conjunction with MiracleFeet, launched the virtual course "Clubfoot is treatable: a course for Health Workers", available through PAHO's Virtual Campus of Public Health. The initiative sought to strengthen the knowledge of health teams and promote the timely detection and referral of children with clubfoot.

Patient-centered financial navigation assistance helps reduce financial toxicity among cancer patients - Medical Xpress
Among cancer patients, the high financial cost of cancer care is a prevalent problem. This financial burden is also associated with potentially harmful behavioral strategies that patients might use to cope with costs, such as delaying or forgoing treatment and skipping medications. Collectively, researchers refer to this impact as financial toxicity.
