Malnutrition, obesity of pregnant women can lead to cleft problems among infants, say experts
Pregnant women should take nutritious food and overcome obesity to avoid cleft lip and cleft palate problems among infants, according to renowned doctors and experts who came to the city from across the country to participate in ‘Smile Please’ medical camp organised on Monday at Tirumala Hospital here.
They felt that passive smoking by pregnant women could also be one of the reasons for cleft problems in newborn babies.
After the inauguration of the camp by MLA Kolagatla Veerabhadra Swamy, the doctors performed surgeries to nearly 95 patients brought from East Godavari, West Godavari and the North Andhra districts.
