WHO WE ARE
At Operation Smile, we believe safe, essential surgery is a human right. For over 40 years, we’ve transformed lives, strengthened health systems and built sustainable solutions.
OUR STRATEGY
Operation 100 is our bold strategy to bring essential surgical care closer to patients’ homes by investing in frontline health workers and strengthening district hospitals.
This is only the start. We will equip 100 cleft operative teams with advanced skills, essential equipment and enhanced health infrastructure across 100 hospitals.
This marks a pivotal step in our four-decade-long commitment to advancing health equity to ensure no one is left behind.
WHAT WE DO
We partner with local volunteers, medical leaders, health ministries, universities and non-governmental organizations to bring essential surgical care closer to patients’ homes, starting with cleft surgery and comprehensive care. Together, we transform health systems by training and equipping local professionals, strengthening infrastructure and building capacity for sustainable care.

Operation Smile delivers medical care for patients and educational programs for health workers in 37 program countries. Our eight partner countries support program countries with resources and volunteers.
