With Gareth Davies, Dr. Ruben Ayala, Dr. Serena Kassam, Erin Stieber, Dr. Usama Hamdan, Dr. Jamie Perry
The World Cleft Coalition (WCC) is an alliance and international collaboration between six organizations involved in long term delivery of cleft care (American Cleft Palate - Craniofacial Association, European Cleft Organization, Global Smile Foundation, Operation Smile, Smile Train and Transforming Faces), in the development of an agreed set of globally-recognized minimum core practice and best practice guidelines for safe and comprehensive cleft care. In addition to creating these guidelines, it was the collaborative process between the founding NGOs that was an unexpected strength and success factor within this initiative.
Please join this panel in a discussion of the results of their joint efforts to establish best practice guidelines and in hearing participant experiences in supporting cleft care worldwide.
WCC Panel: Gareth Davies (ECO), Dr. Ruben Ayala (Operation Smile), Dr. Serena Kassam (GSF), Erin Stieber (Smile Train), Dr. Usama Hamdan (GSF), Dr. Jamie Perry (ACPA)
