Innscor cleft lip programme restores smiles on children

INNSCOR Africa Limited, in partnership with Global Cleft and Cranio-Facial Foundation, recently spearheaded a series of cleft lip operation camps meant to improve the lives of many children across Zimbabwe.

Cleft lip and palate are considered some of the most common congenital abnormalities, with birth prevalence rates ranging from 1/1 000 to 2,69/1 000 births.

Through Innscor Africa’s health subsidiary, Providence Health and Wellness, eight camps were conducted, offering screening, surgical intervention and post-operative care for children affected by cleft lip and palate.
