Welcome from 2019 CCCW Co-Hosts

Welcome to the 2019 International Comprehensive Cleft Care Workshop (CCCW) in Lima, Peru!

Global Smile Foundation founders and EsSalud have collaborated for more than 14 years to bring outreach cleft programs to underserved patients in Peru. EsSalud is the largest social service health provider and hospital operator in Peru, with almost 500 hospitals and health care facilities under their management. In May 2016, both organizations signed a formal agreement to pursue cooperative efforts in education, training, outreach cleft programs, scientific and technological exchange, and the establishment of comprehensive cleft care centers at EsSalud hospitals to help patients born with cleft lip and palate.

We are proud to work together and with a phenomenal workshop team to present the 2019 CCCW that has grown out of the partnership between GSF and EsSalud and extends GSF’s commitment to improving patient access to high quality cleft care through education. We are honored that you will be joining us. See you in Lima!
