Grace – Zambia
March 10, 2010 by Sue Blackwood
Grace is a 2 year old girl who was referred to the World Craniofacial Foundation by Goran Jovic, MD. Dr. Jovic is the Director of Interplast Surgical Outreach Center in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. He is the only plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Zambia, a country of more than 11 million people where 73 percent of the citizens live below the poverty level.
Due to the severity of Grace’s condition, Dr. Jovic is unable to treat her in Zambia. He arranged for a CT scan to be conducted and, at WCF recommendation, sent a CD of the results to Medical Modeling, Inc. Andy Christensen, president of Medical Modeling, is providing for the creation of a three-dimensional model of Grace’s skull, which may be used in planning reconstructive surgery for Grace.
