Health That Lasts

While a cleft surgery can transform a child’s life in as little as 45 minutes, Operation Smile is committed to addressing our patients’ cleft care needs throughout their childhood and adolescence so that they can realize happier and healthier futures. A patient may need the care of many specialists who work as a team to ensure the best long-term outcomes. Our volunteers around the world conduct programs, partner with hospitals, and operate care centers to deliver the ongoing care our patients need and deserve. 

A Global Family

With more than 6,000 active medical volunteers from all around the world, Operation Smile is one of the world’s largest volunteer-based nonprofit organizations. Our global movement is made up of people from all walks of life who believe that anyone born with a cleft condition deserves safe, effective, and timely surgery and comprehensive care, regardless of where they call home.
