Goal: To provide life changing surgery for children from the Mekong Region of Burma (Myanmar).
"The Cleft Palate Project in Eastern Myanmar" continues to connect children with life-changing surgical care that would otherwise be difficult or impossible for their families to access. The need has become even greater as ongoing war and unrest in Myanmar have disrupted healthcare systems, displaced families, and made it increasingly difficult for children in remote and conflict-affected communities to receive specialized medical care.
For families already facing displacement, insecurity, and limited access to basic healthcare, a cleft palate can create additional challenges with feeding, nutrition, speech, and social development. Traveling for specialized surgery can be especially difficult when roads are unsafe, medical facilities have been damaged or disrupted, and families have limited financial resources.
Through local partners and medical networks, children in Shan State are being identified and connected with surgeons and hospitals in Chiang Rai Thailand. Just This week, three more children are being connected with surgeons in Chiang Rai for assessment and to begin the process toward receiving the care they need. Each child represents an opportunity for healing and a better quality of life. We are grateful for the growing network of partners who are helping bridge the gap between children living in conflict-affected areas and the specialized medical care available across the border in Thailand."
