In line with its ongoing partnership with the charity, Healthpoint supported Operation Smile UAE\u2019s ongoing commitment to improve the health and lives of people and bring new smiles to patients with cleft conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleft lip and cleft palate are separations in the upper lip and mouth that occur while a fetus develops in the uterus.\u00a0This may cause a child to develop difficulties in eating, trouble speaking, hearing and in some cases, it may also lead to them developing issues with their teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 1 in 700 children are born with a cleft condition globally, according to data released by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.operationsmile.org\/transformational-care\/cleft-explained\/\">Operation Smile<\/a>. The charity estimates that five million people are living with untreated cleft conditions in the countries where they operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthpoint has played a key role as a trusted partner of Operation Smile UAE since 2020, allowing more than 95 patients with cleft conditions to be treated at its state-of-the-art facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Omar Al Naqbi, Chief Executive Officer of Healthpoint<\/strong>, said, \u201cThe long-standing partnership between Healthpoint and Operation Smile UAE showcases our commitment to advancing healthcare outcomes in the region. By leveraging Healthpoint&#8217;s world-class facilities and expertise, we are proud to play a role in transforming lives and giving patients a new smile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the seventh program, patients of different nationalities, such as Uzbekistan and Philippines, were assessed by a multidisciplinary team of medical volunteers from Operation Smile UAE including, plastic surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, dentists, orthodontists and speech therapists, at the world-class facility of Healthpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-820x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-820x1024.jpeg?v=1738577038 820w, https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-240x300.jpeg?v=1738577038 240w, https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-768x960.jpeg?v=1738577038 768w, https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-1229x1536.jpeg?v=1738577038 1229w, https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2-1639x2048.jpeg?v=1738577038 1639w, https:\/\/gulftech-news.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M42s-Healthpoint-x-Operation-Smile-UAE-2.jpeg?v=1738577038 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Healthpoint hosts seventh surgical program in collaboration with Operation Smile UAE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients who qualified for the surgery were treated at Healthpoint, which provided three operating theaters, pre- and post-operative wards, and a range of additional support services, ensuring patients received the highest standards of care through this transformative journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morag Cromey-Hawke, Executive Director at Operation Smile UAE,<\/strong> said, \u201cWe\u2019re extremely grateful for Healthpoint&#8217;s continued support in helping us change the lives of patients and families affected by cleft conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This partnership allows us to deliver life-changing surgeries and comprehensive care and education to them.
