Visiting doctors offer reconstructive surgery

A team of medical experts will be arriving this weekend to perform reconstructive surgery on those Belizean children who are in need of such treatment. The ten member group, working through Belize’s Friends of Paediatrics, Ministry of Health and the International Children’s Hospital of Richmond, Virginia, will be working all next week at the Southern Regional Hospital in Dangriga. Any parent with a child in need of facial surgery, particularly cleft palate, scars or burns, is invited to attend a screening clinic on Sunday, January twelfth, at the hospital from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For further information, please call Doctor Egbert Grinage at 223-7866.
