Cleft lip and palate missions are charity projects, which demand high standards for both safety and quality. The goal of Future Smile is to enhance surgical safety and continual improvement in the quality of surgery and postoperative care. Over the years, the foundation has improved the surgical standards during our missions and has assisted local communities in building infrastructure where ongoing care can continue when we are not present.
