Children Born with clefts or other craniofacial conditions often face multiple, complex health problems. Experience has shown that interdisciplinary teams of specialists who work together, and with the family, to create and update the child's health care plan, can best mangae these complex issues.

I am happy to note that 1st International Workshop of the International Cleft Lip and Palate Foundation intends to bring professionals form a host of different fields to develop strategies and consensus regarding complete rehabilitation of these disadvantaged and disabled children.

I wish the organized and Prof. Dr. S. M. Balaji  all success in their noble endeavor.
