Toll Free Cleft Helpline Assists Cleft Patients Across India
Jaipur, September 2020: The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected all non-Covid related health issues since OPDs and regular hospital services had been paused due to government guidelines. This not only led to postponement of time sensitive cleft lip and palate surgeries, but also left cleft patients and their families anxious and confused.

This is where NGO Smile Train India’s Toll Free National Cleft Helpline – 1800 103 8301 – has proved to be a blessing. The cleft helpline has become a support system during COVID 19 to answer queries of parents ranging from how to feed a newborn with cleft lip and palate, when would they be able to seek free cleft treatment for their child, to a young mother calling in after she was abandoned by her family because of her daughter was born with a cleft lip. 500+ calls have been received during the Pandemic.
Cleft lip and palate, a birth anomaly, can be completely cured but it is important that children get treatment at the right age to live a healthy and productive life. This involves surgery and other related ancillary care. Delayed treatment can lead to speech and hearing problems, besides social stigma and isolation for the cleft patient. Smile Train India is an NGO which supports totally free cleft treatment. In the last 20 years, they have supported more than 6 Lakh free surgeries for children across India.
Talking about the situation, Mamta Carrol, Smile Train’s Vice President and Regional Director for Asia said, “Our Toll Free Cleft Helpline was launched with the objective of creating a readily accessible national resource for cleft patients and it proved to be a huge support to patients and their families during the lockdown. With enhanced safety guidelines to protect both patients and health workers, our partner hospitals across the country are now slowly resuming cleft surgeries.In fact, surgeries have resumed in Rajasthan and we are supporting free treatment for cleft patients.”
