"I am excited to share my sincere gratitude to all the organizers and presenters for the just ended South African Comprehensive Cleft Care Workshop. The outcome was amazing . Thank you for your efforts to shape the upcoming future leaders in comprehensive cleft care. The knowledge we have acquired will go a long way in providing best practices in our care for children born with cleft lip and palate striving to reduce complications . The Nasal Elevator, Lip Taping and Speech Therapy Techniques we learned during the workshop will definitely help us make a difference while putting a smile on the face of that child and the mother raping it up with the psychosocial tips of family centered care and patient centered care approach."
