Plastic Surgeon Has Performed Over 37,000 Free Cleft Palate Surgeries
Plastic Surgeon Dr.Subodh Kumar Singh had conducted free cleft-palate surgeries of more than 37,000 children and adults as a part of his "Smile Train Project" , a global initiative focused on cleft surgery to perform free surgeries. His work served an enormous number of patients from all parts of India and especially eastern states. Cleft palate is a common birth condition. It can occur alone or as part of a genetic condition/syndrome. Symptoms arise from the opening in the mouth, causing difficulty in speaking and eating. Dr Singh’s service to the poor has earned him wide recognitions. Dr.Singh started treating children with cleft lip/palates for free to commemorate his father's death anniversary. With the contribution of Singh's expertise and support from all kinds of organizations and people, Dr,Singh managed to provide beautiful smiles to children from the age of 3 months to 10 years old suffering from cleft lip and cleft palate. " In every cleft child who has come to me, I see that little Subodh, who lost his father when he was only 13. I feel God made me a plastic surgeon and not a businessman to serve a divine cause," he said. Credit: a plus
Poverty deprives people of adequate education, health care and of life's most basic necessities- safe living conditions (including clean air and clean drinking water) and an adequate food supply. The developed (industrialized) countries today account for roughly 20 percent of the world's population but control about 80 percent of the world's wealth.
Poverty and pollution seem to operate in a vicious cycle that, so far, has been hard to break. Even in the developed nations, the gap between the rich and the poor is evident in their respective social and environmental conditions.
