2011
First medical mission in Guatemala
Since 2011, Operation Smile has conducted medical programs in Guatemala City, the country’s capital and largest city. In 2014, Operation Smile held an international surgical mission at a hospital in Guatemala City, where Operation Smile now holds weekly clinics providing dental, oral hygiene, psychology and speech therapy services.
Operation Smile's global volunteer network includes more than a dozen volunteers from Guatemala who donate their time in Guatemala. In the past four years, Operation Smile has provided reconstructive surgery to more than 600 patients in Guatemala.
