facial growth impairments. These problems are non-life threatening and can easily be rectified with proper corrective surgery.


WHY WE ARE DOING IT
In Malaysia alone, 1 out of 600 babies is born with a cleft lip and palate. Out of the 570,000 babies born in this country, about 950 new cases are found each year.

To date, there are almost 12,000 babies born with this defect and have yet to undergo corrective surgery. This is mainly due to financial constraints, parental ignorance of the available cure and in some instances, societal beliefs. It is our goal to instill public awareness and enable parents of these children to come forward and seek medical aid.

McDonald's together with our partners, ING Insurance Berhad and Pantai Hospitals Sdn. Bhd. understand that financial constraints are a huge obstacle for many parents. That is why we want to help by making the surgery available at NO COSTS to them. The partnership will see Pantai Hospitals Sdn Bhd undertaking corrective surgery for these children, through fundraising projects initiated by RMHC and cash contribution from ING Insurance Berhad under the Gift of Smile program.
