TF’s longtime partner in India hosts this prestigious event
We are so proud of our longtime partner, Sri Ramachandra University (SRU), who organized the International Cleft Congress this year. We applaud them for all the time and hard work they put into hosting nearly 1,000 delegates from across the globe (and we truly believe it was the best Cleft Congress yet!).
“We are very proud here at SRU. It is a big milestone for us to be able to host such an event.”
– Suraj Subramaniyan from Sri Ramachandra University
