Patient care and safety have always been, and will always be, Operation Smile’s highest priority. We are passionately committed to treating every child as if they were our own – settling for nothing less than the highest standard of medical care. Operation Smile does not cut corners or put our patients at risk for the sake of efficiency. We provide long-term, comprehensive care to children born with cleft conditions including surgery, nutrition, psychosocial support, speech therapy, and oral health treatment to give them the best life possible.
We were the first cleft surgical organization to support the World Health Organization’s Safe Surgery Saves Lives initiative. Our Medical Global Standards© are our commitment to ensuring that every patient cared for by Operation Smile will benefit from the same sophisticated equipment, procedures and highly trained, credentialed medical professionals, no matter where they live.
