Description
This book explores the complex issues surrounding the management ofcleft lip and palate in the Developing World, and aims to raise theprofile of a condition commonly considered to be of only cosmeticimportance in countries where infant and child mortality rates arehigh. It provides information and guidelines to three groups: thosein the Developing World setting up programmes of cleft lip andpalate care, and clinicians from developed countries deliveringcare in that context, as well as clinicians in the Developing Worlditself. The book is multidisciplinary, demonstrating the role ofevery member of the team, not just the surgeon, and includescontributions from charity organisations which support these cleftlip and palate programmes. Each area of clinical practice iscovered, comparing typical care in developed countries with that inthe Developing World, and contains practical suggestions as to howthe gap may be narrowed.
Management of Cleft Lip and Palate in the Developing World is animportant resource for anyone having -- or planning to have -a commitment to develop services in that environment and toclinicians in the Developing World faced with large numbers ofcleft lip and palate patients and limited resources of materialsand manpower.
