International Medical Care

International Medical Missions

Operation Smile provides free reconstructive surgery for children suffering from facial deformities such as cleft lip, cleft palate, burns and tumors. Medical professionals from around the world travel to Operation Smile partner countries to treat children during a two-week period. Patients' treatment is determined during an open screening during which a full medical evaluation is performed.

Local Medical Missions

Some Operation Smile partner countries independently facilitate treatment for facial deformities, either by conducting medical missions on the local level or by conducting year-round programs in existing health facilities or through the development of clinics.
