THE IMPACT

Because cleft repair surgery is not covered under Bangladesh’s overburdened public health care system, thousands of children grow to adulthood with this condition untreated. Due to the way they look, these children are often ostracised by society. Many suffer from ear, nose and throat infections as well as depression and malnutrition. Most of the time, a single operation is not sufficient to repair all negative effects of the cleft and comprehensive care is required.

Cleft Bangladesh offers different surgeries by well experienced surgeons and anaesthetists. Our cleft centres provide high quality treatments with a variety of surgical techniques. Cleft Bangladesh provides regular experience exchanges in cooperation with Cleft India to discuss the latest developments in cleft treatments and to train our medical teams. This lets us offer high quality and secure treatments and therefore change the life of the patient for the better.
