Waiting to Smile
Globally, every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. In too many cases around the world, surgery to fix cleft conditions is neither accessible nor affordable. It takes as little as 45 minutes to provide surgery to children and adults living with cleft conditions, forever changing their lives.
At Operation Smile Australia, we believe that everyone suffering with cleft and craniofacial conditions deserves exceptional, safe surgical care.
You can change the life of a child today!
