Sponsorship of corrective surgeries
We study each case on its own merit with the view of selecting 10(Ten)
serious and urgent cases of facial disability for immediate corrective
surgeries. We have commenced data identification analysis of children
under this category through physical medical examination of the cases
under consideration. We have also contacted notable medical authorities
within and outside Nigeria. Our mission is to sponsor these children to
the best available medical Establishments to carry corrective facial
surgeries. We also intend to make this event an annual exercise. Each
case will be examined and veiled by our Medical crew before treatment
commences. We want to submit here that most of our cases will be treated
here in Nigeria and will from time to time fly in visiting doctors to
carry out surgeries in a larger scale to reduce the cost of taking some
of the cases abroad. Our ultimate goal is to build a children hospital
that will be carrying out corrective surgeries.
In the course of out Data identification analysis we have been able to
further categorize these cases in the following bracket
30% - Very urgent cases
40% - Not Urgent Cases
30% - Manageable Cases. We believe that appropriate facial surgeries
will improve the uses of facial attributes in these children and help in
restoring hope to the children involved. The aim of treatments is geared
towards the following:
Normal appearance, well aligned teeth, sucking and swallowing, normal
sounding speech and normal hearing,
-Surgery on palate is best done after the deciduous molars are in proper
occlusion.
-Surgery for small cleft earlier at 12-18 months
-Surgery for larger clefts 18-24 months with occasional delay to 20th
month of age.
-Surgery on isolated soft palate age 18-24 months |
