3,500 babies a year are born with cleft lip and palate in Mexico

The state of Oaxaca is one of the most vulnerable, where 120 babies are born each year with this condition, 90% of whom lack timely and quality care

With your contribution we prevent children born withcleft lip and cleft palate from having difficulties:

Speech

Lack of a full palate causes nasal air leaks when speaking, which affects the pronunciation of words

Swallowing and eating

Babies with cleft lip and cleft palate face feeding difficulties and the risk of fluids reaching their airways is high

Hearing

Hearing problems are caused by damage to the eustachian tubes, which connect the throat to the middle ear

Breathing

Upper airway obstruction, especially when the palate is severely affected, causes breathing difficulties

Social Interaction

Allowing a child born with cleft lip and cleft palate to go untreated affects how a person relates socially, especially during childhood and adolescence

At MSI we transform and guarantee a more fulfilling life
