Children with cleft lip and palate are expected to benefit from a collaboration between the Georgetown Public Hospital Cooperation (GPHC) and an international charitable organisation, Smile Train, to facilitate surgeries at the medical institution to address their condition.
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) report, Dr Shilindra Rajkumar, a plastic surgeon attached to the GPHC, noted that the hospital is grateful to witness another effort made by international counterparts to boost the level of medical services offered to Guyanese. He disclosed that the six-member team intends to complete at least twelve operations on children by this weekend and added that the team would meet with members of the Rotary club and both entities are expected to partner to identify children throughout Guyana who need urgent relief from the condition.
