The caregivers, 43 of them, who meet every week at the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital (LUTH) facility, last week, shared their stories in words and pictures at the Photo-voice Oralfacial Clefts exhibition.
Oral cleft and cleft palate is a birth condition which is an opening(s) or splits in the roof of the mouth and lip, and can occur alone or as part of a genetic condition or syndrome.
The photo-voice exhibition held at Surgical Skills Center of LUTH, Idi-Araba, in Lagos, had scores of the caregivers present and they narrated tales on how they almost abandoned their children with cleft but for the intervention of Smile Train and LUTH who came to their rescue.
