LEAP Global Missions has a medical team on the way to Ukraine! Craniofacial Orthodontist Dr. Cheryl Anderson-Cermin, Pediatric Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mark Hnatiuk, and Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. John Sands will be working with their medical counterparts at Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Lviv, Ukraine.
They will be teaching and working alongside their surgeons on some very complex medical cases, all with the idea of sharing their knowledge and expertise with these Ukrainian specialists. They will also present at a medical conference on the treatment and management of patients born with cleft lip and palate, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Christian Medical Association of Ukraine and Ed's Friends are partnering with LEAP Global Missions to help make this mission possible. Please keep our team in your prayers as they partner with our friends in Ukraine. If you would like to support our Ukraine missions, please donate at leapmissions.org/donate-form.
