Infos

This book explores the complex issues surrounding the management of
cleft lip and palate in the Developing World, and aims to raise the
profile of a condition commonly considered to be of only cosmetic
importance in countries where infant and child mortality rates are
high. It provides information and guidelines to three groups: those
in the Developing World setting up programmes of cleft lip and
palate care, and clinicians from developed countries delivering
care in that context, as well as clinicians in the Developing World
itself. The book is multidisciplinary, demonstrating the role of
every member of the team, not just the surgeon, and includes
contributions from charity organisations which support these cleft
lip and palate programmes. Each area of clinical practice is
covered, comparing typical care in developed countries with that in
the Developing World, and contains practical suggestions as to how
the gap may be narrowed.

Management of Cleft Lip and Palate in the Developing World is an
important resource for anyone having -- or planning to have -
a commitment to develop services in that environment and to
clinicians in the Developing World faced with large numbers of
cleft lip and palate patients and limited resources of materials
and manpower.
