Cleft lip is the most common congenital malformation in oral and maxillofacial region, often accompanied by cleft palate. Surgical treatment is the only way to repair cleft lip. Medical experts believe that the most suitable age for unilateral cleft lip repair is 3-6 months and the weight is above 6-7kg. Generally, bilateral cleft lip should be operated in 6- 12 months.

Zhao Hongbo, Xiao Enguang's father, is full of gratitude. "I really want to thank this project fund, otherwise I will leave my children with lifelong regrets because of the cost of surgery, and my parents will suffer for life."

Wang Zhanwen, president of Changchun Stomatological Hospital, said that according to the regulations, all patients with cleft lip and palate who can't pay for the operation due to family financial difficulties or have a second repair due to the poor effect of the first operation are eligible to apply for free operation in the project cooperative hospital. The applicant can fill in the poverty statement truthfully, and then sign the consent form of the patient's medical record with the project cooperation hospital, and then the operation can be corrected.
