I am very glad to note that the 1st International Workshop of the International Cleft Lip and Palate Foundation is to be held from 3rd to 6th December, 2005 at Chennai.

I hope that the Workshop with interactive session & surgical demonstrations besides oral sessions will enlighten the latest trends and techniques in cleft and craniofacial surgery. I am sure that the Workshop will be very informative and usefull to the participants in updating their knowledge.

I wish the workshop all success

Prof. Dr. C. V. Bhirmanandham
