Leaving no child behind
Some countries really mean it:
The application in Cuba of minimum-access surgery for cochlear implants has enabled 53 children –- 18 deaf-mutes and 35 deaf –- to have partial hearing, providing them with a means of communication that empowers their development and improves their quality of life.
Experts noted that this is the largest group of deaf-mute children with implants in the world.
