Abstract

The establishment of a craniofacial in a developing country is often difficult because of the availability of trained personnel. This requires gradually replacing or training personnel such as speech pathologists. Gradual improvement is possible for a period of 5 to 10 years to train individuals. This requires a dedicated person to achieve the goal of a multidisciplined center for patients with cleft.
