Cleft Lip and Palate Program
CLAP is MJAF’s flagship healthcare initiative addressing the urgent needs of children born with cleft lip and palate conditions. At MJAF, we believe that cleft care is a journey — beginning with surgery and continuing through healing, follow-up, and long-term support for both the child and the family.
From Surgery to Sustained Care
Between September 2024 and November 2025, MJAF carried out three consecutive Cleft Care Missions. These missions not only performed surgeries but also focused on revisits, follow-up, and long-term care.
Three Missions, One Commitment
Mission 1 — September 2024
• 25 corrective surgeries (15 lip, 10 palate)
• 8 follow-up visits
Mission 2 — February 2025
• 20 new surgeries
• 12 revisits
• Delayed palate repairs and secondary intervention planning
Mission 3 — November 2025
• 37 surgeries
• 18–20 revisits
• Lip, nose, and palate revisions and speech assessments
Impact So Far
38–40 patients supported through revisits

Why Follow-Up Matters
Healing, speech development, facial growth, and social integration unfold over years. Structured revisits ensure complications are addressed early and families remain supported long after surgery. CLAP ensures no child is treated and then forgotten.
Building a Center of Comprehensive Care
MJAF envisions a permanent Centre providing:
• Early diagnosis and feeding support
• Surgical care for cleft lip and palate
• Speech therapy and hearing support
• Nutritional guidance and growth monitoring
• Psychological and family counseling
• Long-term follow-up at every stage
The Centre will expand into broader pediatric and craniofacial services for holistic, continuous care.
