Project Report | Nov 6, 2024
Creating new smiles that change lives!

By Sarah Ahmed | Project Leader

We are excited to share the latest updates from our Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery Project at Al-Mustafa Hospital! Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are making significant strides in improving the lives of children suffering from cleft conditions across Pakistan. Here’s a glimpse of our progress from the last quarter:

Surgical Achievements


This quarter, we successfully performed 58 free surgeries on children in need! Our dedicated surgical teams carried out

  • 46 Cleft Lip surgeries
  • 12 Cleft Lip and Palate surgeries

Each of these surgeries is a step towards restoring not just smiles but also confidence and hope for the future.

Comprehensive Care

In addition to surgeries, we are committed to providing comprehensive care. This quarter, we facilitated 250 patients with vital pre-operative and post-operative services, ensuring that our young patients receive the following:

  • Investigations to prepare for surgery
  • Dental treatments
  • Ongoing speech therapy
  • ENT consultations
  • Psychological support

Age Breakdown of Young Patients

We believe in catering to the unique needs of each age group. Here’s how our patient demographics look:

  • 1 to 12 months: 40 children
  • 1 to 5 years: 8 children
  • 6 to 10 years: 1 child
  • 11 to 15 years: 3 children
  • 16 to years: 1 child
  • 20 and above: 5 individuals

It’s heartwarming to see our youngest patients benefiting from the surgeries, giving them a brighter start in life.

Community Outreach

Our outreach isn’t limited to the hospital. We continue to organize camps in urban, suburban, and rural areas across Pakistan, bringing these life-changing surgeries directly to those who need them most. By expanding our reach, we aim to ensure that children from low-income families receive the medical attention they rightfully deserve.

In Closing

Your support is invaluable to us and the families we serve. We look forward to continuing this vital work and transforming more lives in the coming months. Thank you for making a difference!
