Smile Train Collaboration - In India, each year approximately 35000 babies are born with clefts. By an estimate and there are around 10 Lakh cases of untreated clefts in India. This is because more than 50% or people are unaware of the fact the clefts can be treated that too free of cost. Many of the patient’s families are poor to travel to the hospitals to get this treated.
During the development of fetus when certain midline soft tissues do not fuse together a cleft occurs. The clefts can develop in back of the mouth, so on roof of the mouth and even they might involve the lip. (Anand Hospital in Meerut )
