Medical surveys show that amongst 962 babies born in India, one is born with a deformity. Children born with Cleft Lips, Squint eyes or Facial scars form a high percentage of total deformities. The only method to treat such deformities is to undergo a plastic surgery or corrective surgery. Given the advancement in medical system, and with the spread of medical and health care program in India from rural to semi-urban & urban level, one would think that there are adequate expertise, facilities and the required infrastructure for such deformities to be taken care of through surgical procedures and appropriate medical care. But, unfortunately the reality is different.
