Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: International outreach for cleft lip and/or palate care has traditionally been characterized by foreign groups and individuals holding surgical outreach trips in low- and middle-income countries. However, this "magic bullet" approach has often been criticized for prioritizing short-term results that may disrupt local workflow. The presence and impact of local organizations that support cleft care and take on capacity building initiatives has not been well explored.
DESIGN: Eight countries previously studied as having the highest Google search demand for CL/P were chosen for the scope of the study. Local NGOs in regions were identified through a web search, and information was collected regarding the location, objectives, partnerships, and work conducted thus far.
RESULTS: Countries with a strong combination of local and international organizations included Ghana, Philippines, Nepal, Kenya, Pakistan, India, and Nigeria. The country with minimal to no local NGO presence included Zimbabwe. Local NGOs often supported education and research, training of providers and staff, spreading community awareness, offering interdisciplinary care, and opening cleft clinics and hospitals. Unique initiatives included starting the first school for children with CL/P, enrolling patients in the national healthcare to cover CL/P care, and monitoring the referral system to improve efficiencies in the healthcare system.
CONCLUSIONS: Moving towards a mindset of capacity building not only involves bilateral partnerships between international host sites and visiting organizations, but also collaboration with local NGOs that have a deep understanding of local communities. Successful partnerships may help address the complex challenges regarding CL/P care faced by LMICs.
