The Cleft Care Framework in India

The Cleft Care India study (CCIS) comprehensively evaluates the treatment and care provided to patients with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in India, at five, twelve, and twenty years of age. This book is a culmination of the CCIS project funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India under the Scheme for Promotion of Research and Academic Collaboration (SPARC), and the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI). The University of Manchester, the UK's preeminent hub for creating and overseeing Cleft care, is the international partner with Jamia Millia Islamia, India, for this project. The journeys, experiences, and methods used by India's paramount cleft centers to get to where they are now are compiled in this monograph. It provides detailed information on the services, team, and overall excellence of various healthcare facilities; empowering readers locate and evaluate the top-performing medical centers in their region. The target audience would be any person associated with cleft care. This monograph would be a valuable resource for academicians, policymakers, and healthcare professionals to develop robust strategies for comprehensive cleft care.
