We are proud of our collaborative approach – and our partnerships with both cleft professionals here in Canada and around the world. We share a common vision for a future where children born with cleft have access to comprehensive care, close to home.
Last week, TF’s Executive Director Hugh presented to a group of medical professionals associated with the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Alongside renowned Craniofacial Surgeon (and friend of TF) Dr. Christopher Forrest, the presentation highlighted the process of building capacity in Ethiopia.
