11th Mission in Tripura – Opening New Possibilities

Giving is not just about donating. It is about making a difference’- Kathy Kalvin.

Our team from Guwahati Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre (GC4) conducted its 11th medical mission in Agartala, Tripura, from 26th-31st March 2018. The venue was at Dr BRAM Hospital. We conducted the mission in partnership with the Government of Tripura National Health Mission, RBSK.  Also, ONGC  and Tripura Medical College extended their support.

The mission team screened 108 patients. After that, we offered life-changing cleft rectification surgery to 53 patients. Besides, during the screening process, we identified 17 patients needing nutritional help. Eventually, they were taken into the fold under GC4’s nutrition program.

The free cleft surgery mission gained optimum visibility through banners and posters across Agartala. Besides, our patient recruitment team also covered different parts of the state. This was to identify needy beneficiaries and conduct awareness campaigns for the mission. So, a large number of patients turned out at the mission venue.

Seeing the outcome, the Government of Tripura has recommended us to conduct the next mission to cover the remaining 50 cleft surgeries. The Guwahati Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre’s mission team delivered 50 more smiles in the next Tripura mission.
