In 2018, SACIM sent eight children abroad, four new cases and four for review.
Note that one child went abroad twice during the year for denture rehabilitation.
- Orthopaedic - 4
- Ophthalmic - 3
- Denture rehabilitation - 1
None of them benefitted from government grant.
We did not accept any further case as we did not have enough funds.
Since 1968 till December 2018, we have sent abroad 719 children and referred 878 cases more than once either for multiple stage surgeries or review. |
