Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation/Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
The Smile Train’s first project in the Philippines was established
with the Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation (NCF) and the Chang Gung
Memorial Hospital (Taiwan). The goal is to develop a cleft center
on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The NCF has identified
a qualified hospital in General Santos, Mindanao, and local surgeon
Ramon E. Gonzales, M.D., an anesthesiologist, and a social worker/speech
pathologist for further training. Under the medical directorship
of M. Samuel Noordhoff, M.D., The Smile Train funding has enabled
100 surgeries to be performed by the cleft team in Mindanao.
