Over six days, from May 18 to 23, with a team of qualified doctors from Lviv’s “Okhmatdyt,” twelve top specialists in cleft lip and palate from the USA will work collaboratively.

Treating cleft lip and palate involves a series of measures that will help the child grow, develop, eat, and speak normally,” the center reported.
