Addressing Cleft Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Beyond Cleft Lip and Palate with Improvement of Otolaryngology, Audiology, and Speech Services.

There are many barriers patients and families face in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs) to just receive the initial surgical care for their cleft lip and palate (CLP). Cleft lip/palate care encompasses much more than just the initial primary repairs, especially in the realm of otolaryngology, audiologic health, and speech language pathology. LMICs face many disparities in training and surgical care for secondary cleft surgeries, and addressing these disparities and creating solutions is paramount for the future of CLP patients globally. This editorial aims to highlight these disparities and pave a path forward with solution-based discussions.
