Cleft care is not a single surgery. It is a long-term clinical journey that demands precision, coordination, and accountability. The CCF Clinical Audit Report 2025 reflects exactly that — a structured, patient-first approach to comprehensive cleft care.

In 2025, 126 patients were registered under CCF’s cleft care program. Each case was evaluated through a multidisciplinary lens to ensure:

• Safe treatment decisions

• Ethical clinical judgment

• Effective, patient-specific care planning

Surgical Outcomes Backed by Clinical Judgment

Out of 126 patients, 34 cleft surgeries were performed, including:

• Lip repairs

• Palatoplasty

• Lip adhesion procedures

• Tongue flap surgeries

• Other complex cleft-related interventions

These surgeries were not volume-driven decisions. They were:

• Clinically justified

• Carefully staged

• Tailored to individual patient needs

Equally important:

• 51 patients did not require surgery

• 7 patients were medically unfit or awaiting clearance

This reflects CCF’s commitment to:

• Patient safety

• Ethical medical practice

• Performing surgery only when it is necessary and safe

Beyond Surgery: Complete Rehabilitative Care

True cleft care does not end in the operating room. CCF provided integrated rehabilitative services, including:

• Speech therapy

• ENT evaluations

• Orthodontic care

• Audiology assessments

• Nutritional support

• Psychological care

This coordinated model ensures:

• Functional recovery

• Emotional wellbeing

• Long-term quality of life, not just physical correction

Impact That Matters

• 126 patients supported

• 34 life-changing cleft surgeries completed

• Fully integrated care model covering surgery, rehabilitation, and psychosocial support

CCF’s clinical audit demonstrates transparency, accountability, and alignment with international standards of cleft care. This impact is not about numbers alone — it is about outcomes, ethics, and dignity for every patient.
