Rohmawati is a sixteen years old girl  from  Lombok which lies to the east of Bali. She is the third child in the family and suffers from a right tessier cleft with a duplication of her maxilla. Rohmawati attended the Yayasan Senyum Bali Clinic in Denpasar, Bali in 2007 after being found by a Yayasan Kita Peduli outreach worker in her village in Lombok.

She was examined in Bali at the Yayasan Senyum Clinic by a team of doctors headed by Professor David David who were visiting from the Australian Cranio Facial Unit (ACFU) in Adelaide. It was decided that Rohmawati would require at least two operations in Adelaide, Australia to correct her cranio facial condition.
