Executive Summary

China presents a unique opportunity to further develop Smile Train's free cleft surgery and ancillary care programs. Smile Train China's ever-growing cleft care network provides the perfect platform to launch pilot programs for ancillary care and patient outreach that can then be adapted for our programs around the world.

As Smile Train China continues to grow and gain support from China's burgeoning middle class it moves closer and closer to self-sufficiency.
