A cleft is a separation or gap in the body structure. Two major types of oral or facial clefts are cleft lip (involving the lip) and cleft palate (involving the roof of the mouth or the soft posterior tissue inside the mouth). Most cannot eat, drink or speak properly. Due to shame, they cannot even attend school or hold a job and lead a painful life in isolation.
All the social workers, church leaders and teachers are requested to kindly disseminate the information for the upcoming free cleft lip and palate surgery camp to be held at Oking Hospital & Research Clinic (P) Ltd., Kohima.
For further information and advance registration, contact Oking Hospital, Kohima (0370 2290080, 9436000494) or Shija Hospitals (7629076763).
