Free Awareness
& Screening Camp for Cleft Lip & Palate Patients at District Hospital
Bandipora
Bandipora,
February 21: In a
significant healthcare initiative, Smile Train India, in collaboration with the
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Bandipora, is organizing a free awareness and
screening camp for individuals suffering from cleft lip, cleft palate, nasal,
facial, and cranial deformities.
The camp will be held on February
27, 2025, at District Hospital Bandipora, with the goal of identifying and
assisting patients in need of corrective surgery and medical
intervention.
Patients are urged to register for
the camp before February 26, 2025, by contacting 7889440542 or 6005879092.
This initiative is part of Smile
Train India’s ongoing efforts to provide free surgical care and rehabilitation
to children and adults affected by cleft-related conditions. Cleft lip and
palate are among the most common birth defects which if left untreated
lead to difficulties in speech, eating, breathing, and overall facial
development.
The Khyber Medical Institute,
Nowpora Srinagar, will be an integral part of this initiative, providing
medical expertise and post-operative care.
