A single smile can change a life; 25,000 smiles can change the world.

Today, our Guwahati Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre (GC4) celebrates an extraordinary achievement – a milestone of 25,000 free cleft surgeries, a historic record in the field of cleft care. This milestone is a testament to our shared mission of transforming lives and restoring smiles across Assam, North East and beyond.

This accomplishment would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the Government of Assam, particularly Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, whose commitment to healthcare and cleft correction has empowered us to create a lasting impact. To our dedicated GC4 doctors,anaesthesiologists, nurses, support staff… past and present and all our valued funders and well wishers – your relentless efforts and encouragement are the true force behind each smile we create.

Together, we continue to bring hope, health, and happiness to thousands of families. Thank you for believing in the power of a smile and standing with us on this remarkable journey.
