Sept. 23 Annual Gala *VENUE CHANGE* due to weather — See details
Team Cleft Repair completed their second trip to Laos in March, providing dental and reconstructive surgery to 55 patients with cleft lip, palate, and other facial deformities. This was the team's second visit to Houaphanh Province to provide life-changing cleft surgeries in one of the most underserved and impoverished regions of Laos.
In total, the team performed 69 surgical procedures and more than 70 dental treatments as part of their comprehensive cleft care. In addition to the medical care, the team also gifted their host hospital with a Maglumi 600 CLIA System, which will provide the ability to test and diagnose locally instead of sending them off and waiting weeks for their results. Operation International's Team Cleft Repair was established in March 2023 and consists of a dedicated group of doctors and nurses passionate about comprehensive care for children born with cleft lip and palate.
