Brief
Pakistan Cleft Lip and Palate Association started operations in 1997, and was officially registered in 2001under the registration number “DO-SW-GRT(REGD)/2002-01”.  The Association is led by specialists in different fields, expanding its scope nation wide.
Our Vision
Every Child Has Equal Right to Smile
Our Mission
To provide State of Art Plastic Surgery facilities for children born with Cleft Lip and Palate to make them Smile
The need
Out of 570 live births, one is born with cleft lip, cleft palate or both.  Considering the population of Pakistan, it sums to a huge number, and there is no organization dealing with this issue, which motivated the formation of PCLAPA.

About 10,000 children of cleft lip and palate are being added in more than 200 thousands already present in Pakistan    No facilities are available to teach junior doctors and paramedical staff to deal with such new born babies  No training facilities are available for mothers to feed these children.  No printed materials are available to guide parents and communities to deal with the issue.
