Every year, about 35,000 babies are born with cleft lips or palates and there are over 10 lakh cases of untreated clefts in India. Most of the parents either do not know that a cleft can be fully corrected at the early stage itself or are too poor to afford the costs of surgery. In addition to being a medico-economic issue, a cleft is often associated with a social stigma, especially for girls, who find it very tough to lead a normal life with facial deformities. IndianOil undertook an initiative to bring back smiles on the face of people affected with cleft lips in the North East.
