The patients are awarded a precious treatment card, their ticket to surgery. On screening day I helped with the taking the histories, the last station before patients went to see the Dr's and recieve their card. In all 117 reconstructive procedure candidates were added to the surgical calander during the event. A further 60 patients were selected to see the ship's orthopeadic surgeons later in the year.

Thanks for putting up some pictures for us Het! It is good to see what you are doing. I hope that you'll be able to show us some follow up pictures when the surgeries are done as well! That would be really neat. The Hinter :)

Would a lack of proper nutrition be the leading factor in what seems to be a large number of facial deformities? Could you comment on any preventative efforts that are taking place? Thanks for your continual and informative updates.
