So, let's have a brief introduction on what is CLAPAM all about.
CLAPAM mainly consist of voluntary groups of parents and professionals which their aim is to help
children with cleft lip and palate birth defects to grow up looking better, speaking
better and fitting in better. CLAPAM provide supports,
advices, seminars and education.
CLAPAM’s mission is to educate and increase the awareness level of the
public regarding the management of cleft individuals and cleft issues
through their various activities whilst striving to be a one stop centre
for cleft issues nationwide. CLAPAM also aim to be a link for parents who wish to seek medical assistance and the medical
professionals.
The activities include visits to hospitals, clinics, and homes to provide counselling and guidance on the correct feeding techniques for a cleft baby as proper feeding is essential to a baby’s growth and development. CLAPAM is also a member of the Combined Cleft Clinic at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) and Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). They meet parents with cleft children and adults with cleft condition in these clinics to further provide counselling and guidance sessions along with providing a link between parents and medical professionals.
CLAPAM also conduct talks for members and health professionals through their Annual General Meetings and public forum/member get-together where medical professionals are invited to present special topics. CLAPAM attend medical conferences and participate in seminars and lectures to increase the awareness on cleft. They also publish and distribute information leaflets on cleft for parents and healthcare professionals and try to increase the level of awareness and cleft management.
