Corrective surgery for a cleft lip or palate can change someone’s life
Children born with a cleft lip or palate risk dying of malnutrition unless they get corrective surgery
Caring for People
Approximately one in every 1000 babies in African is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. In Ghana specifically, it is estimated that one in every 760 children are born with a cleft condition.
One in 10 children born with a cleft will die before their first birthday. Those that survive struggle with speech difficulties, are often malnourished and are frequently ostracised because of their appearance.
For these children, a relatively quick, simple operation results in a life-changing smile. The Cipla Foundation initiative, Miles for Smiles, through Operation Smile strives to ensure that every child with a cleft lip or palate has access to this level of surgical care.
During the fiscal year ending June 2024, Operation Smile in Ghana plans to provide surgical care to about 410 patients. We look forward to working together to make a life-changing difference and bring more smiles to Ghana.
