63% of pediatric surgery is for congenital anomalies. CHD surgery saves lives. Cataract surgery prevents blindness. Cleft surgery brings a smile. Let's work together for developing a birth defects service model for LMICs @Smiletrain @bzheleva @SalimahWalani @HealthyNewborns
Did you know... 🤔 📈 1.75billion children have no access to safe surgery. 🌍 87% of them are from #LMICs. This means millions of children are dying from conditions that could've been treated with surgery. Our work is all about giving these children the chance they deserve. 💙
