We are proud and honoured to have been awarded the Batho Pele Service Excellence and Innovation Award from the Department of Health, Eastern Cape.
The award recognises our commitment to providing quality surgical care worldwide to children born with cleft conditions. At Operation Smile we believe every child deserves access to the highest standard of care.
Our work goes beyond cleft surgeries. Ongoing care includes providing speech therapy, dental and psychosocial care. We partner with local professionals and organisations to ensure sustainable solutions and empower communities.
Receiving this award reaffirms our dedication to transforming lives. We thank the Eastern Cape Department of Health for this honour, as well as their support and we pledge to continue our mission of spreading smiles and hope.
