A boy from Bintulu which is only a few weeks old is among the latest patients registering themselves for the forthcoming 7th charity campaign on corrective operations for cleft lips and palates. The campaign is organised by the Cleft Lips and Palate Association Malaysia, CLAPAM and the Columbia Asia Medical Centre, CAMC Miri. It is scheduled to be held at the Centre in May this year. The campaign coordinator, Puan Ho Siew Choon says so far 28 patients have registered themselves. Of the number 18 are new cases while the rest are on follow up operation to complete their repairs.
She stresses as the operation is fully sponsored, the eligible individuals in the state should take full advantage of the opportunity provided. Registration is still open and they expect to operate at least 30 patients during 7th Charity Campaign. Those interested should register as soon as posssible with the Colombia Asia Medical Centre. Eligible patients are those with total family income of below one-thousand ringgit a month. However those who partially fulfill the criteria can also call her at the Medical Centre at 085-437755 or fax 085-425677. Puan Ho who is also the CAMC Public Relations Nurse says medical team comprising of several specialists headed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Kim Tan will undertake the surgery. So far total 111 patients from throughout the state had benefitted from the campaign since it was started in September 2004.
