       Continuing Medical Education Programmes like the 1st International Workshop of the International Cleft Lip and Palate Foundation aim to equip the surgeons to face the ongoing challenge of rapidly understanding the integrating the newest medical knowledge and advanced treatments into their practice.

        I wish the organisers and Prof. Dr. S.M. Balaji, all success in their endeavours in offering a high-quality live surgical programme, to support the continuing education goals of all health care professionals involved in the rehabilitation of children with cleft and craniofacial deformities.

         I hope that this workshop will serve the needs of patients everywhere through the advancement of medicine.
