Smile Train Shija Cleft Project - Mission Nagaland- 5th Phase concluded
5th Mission Nagaland to eradicate the problem associated with birth defects of cleft lip and palate was conducted on 28, 29 and 30 March 2012 at Oking Hospital, Kohima. A team of doctors led by Dr. Palin Kh, Smile Train Partnered Surgeon, Shija Hospitals, Imphal successfully conducted 21 cleft surgeries free of cost during the camp. Mission Nagaland has now completed 66 cleft patients in 5 free surgery camps held since September 2011 and given smiles on their faces.
Patients with birth defect of cleft lip and palate are live in shame, isolation and heartache without any means to get it repaired. They usually don’t go to school because of the defect. They become normal after the repair. Many of them have become doctors, engineer, scientist, artists etc after the corrective surgery.
It is estimated that more than 2500 patients are living with the defects in the state of Nagaland. The Mission Nagaland has appreciated the role of media in making the free surgery camps successful and requests the social workers, church leaders, teachers and politicians to help eradicate the problems of cleft lip and palate from the state Nagaland by disseminating information to the interiors and give them a second chance to lead a normal life.
Mission Nagaland is happy to announce the 6th free camp at Oking Hospital, Kohima will be held on 18th, 19th and 20th of April 2012. Patients with the such defects may report on 18th April ’12
