Children’s medical charity announces milestone

 

London, 1 Sept-(ANA)-Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity, has announced an incredible milestone in the treatment of 150,000 children and young adults around the world who previously suffered from a debilitating cleft lip or cleft palate.

 

With the help of international medical volunteers and generous donations, Operation Smile provides free reconstructive surgeries to children worldwide. Since its founding in 1982, Operation Smile has grown and evolved into an organisation focused on safe surgery for all its patients and building self-sustaining networks in its partner countries. What began as a single visit to the Philippines almost three decades ago is now a catalyst for improved healthcare systems in over 50 countries. (ANA)
