Operation Smile Sweden
Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. We estimate that there are millions of children waiting for care in the 34 countries where we work.
The majority of these children are unable to receive the medical care they need because it is too costly, far away, or specialized. Because of this, being born with a cleft condition can be fatal. If a child survives, they may face bullying and social isolation.
Through our expertise in treating cleft lip and cleft palate, we create solutions that deliver safe surgery to people where it’s needed most.
