Over 2,000 children with cleft lips and palates at Children’s Hospital 1in Ho Chi Minh City have received free surgery funded by Smile Train,a US non-governmental organisation, over the past five years.

Cleft lips and palates are facial and oral malformations that occurvery early in pregnancy, while the baby is developing inside the mother.Clefting results when there is not enough tissue in the mouth or liparea, and the tissue that is available does not join together properly.

Most scientists believe that clefts are due to a combinationof genetic and environmental factors. Another potential cause may berelated to the medication a mother has taken during her pregnancy.

Statistics reveal that the malformations affect one in 1,000 babies in Asia and one in 700 in Vietnam.
