CLEFT PALATE TREATMENT
Hope For Service In Canterbury
The hope that he could develop a cleft-palate consultation service within the North Canterbury Hospital Board’s set-up to rehabilitate “those children who, in -the past, have been the least-looked after of all our congenital deformities" was expressed in a report on a course of study during overseas leave in Australia to the board on Wednesday by Mr David PoswiUo, orthodontist at the Burwood Hospital.
The co-operation which he received from medical and dental colleagues enabled him to appreciate greatly the recent trends in early management of cleft palate advocated in the last year or so in literature, said Mr PoswiUo A letter from Mr John Heath, a Melbourne orthodontist, said Mr PoswiUo had become accepted there at specialist level in both consultation and practice. Mrs J. ’ E. Mackay said cleft palate deformity was one of the greatest handicaps to children The board would look forward with the greatest interest to the development of the clinic by Mr PoswiUo.
