Project:
Incidence of cleft lip/palate in Pakistan is 1 in 500 live births and most of the children die in childhood if untreated. Unfortunately because of widespread poverty and lack of resources, access to surgery and rehabilitation, especially for the poor, is nonexistent. Early detection and timely surgery are the keys. One surgery can change the life of a child, but only if parents can afford it.
Project Outline:
We plan to provide this service free of charge to the poor who cannot afford the surgery. Our program includes a package of child screening, initial assessment, cost of corrective surgery which will include all hospital expenses, operation room expenses and compensation to surgeon and anesthesiologist (if needed), hospital stay, medications, management of complications and followup visits/ services including speech pathology etc.
We will have oversight on each program and will regularly update our donors. We need your help and support to make our projects a success for many more years to come. Please help and donate.
