The Cleft Care India study (CCIS) comprehensively evaluates the treatment and care provided to patients with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in India, at five, twelve, and twenty years of age. This book is a culmination of the CCIS project funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India under the Scheme for Promotion of Research and Academic Collaboration (SPARC), and the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI). The University of Manchester, the UK's preeminent hub for creating and overseeing Cleft care, is the international partner of the initiative. The journeys, experiences, and methods used by India's paramount cleft centers to get to where they are now are compiled in this monograph. The target audience would be any clinician associated with cleft care in India or abroad, primarily Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, plastic surgeons, orthodontists, and speech therapists. Navigating the healthcare landscape can be a daunting task, especially for patients seeking specialized treatment or a new medical provider. Fortunately, this book offers a comprehensive guide to help patients locate and evaluate the top-performing medical centers in their region. It provides detailed information on the services, team, and overall excellence of various healthcare facilities, empowering readers to make informed decisions.
This monograph would be a valuable resource for academicians, policymakers, and healthcare professionals involved in enhancing the standard of care for patients with cleft lip and palate. It would help address the lacunae in the current standard of care and provide a framework for developing robust strategies for comprehensive cleft care.
