The Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital is calling for greater collaborations to increase cleft palate surgeries, following a series of successful procedures performed by the National Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit in partnership with Operation Smile.

Cleft palate, a congenital condition affecting thousands of children worldwide, can significantly impact quality of life.

However, in Ghana, efforts are being made to provide life-changing surgical interventions for those affected.

The National Plastic Reconstructive Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, in partnership with Operation Smile, is leading this initiative, offering free surgical treatments to children with the condition.
