Optimal treatment of cleft requires medical specialists from multiple fields to work hand in hand. At Muskurahat Center in Karachi, Prof. Ganatra and his team offer following services for cleft patients:

• Pediatrician: is responsible for the nutrition, vaccination and infection control of cleft children.
• Orthodontist: is responsible for Naso-Alveolar moulding during the first three months of life. Naso-Alveolar moulding reduces the severity of the cleft in preparation of the cleft correction surgery, which improves outcomes and may reduce the number of surgeries needed.
• Plastic surgeon: is responsible for the surgical repair of cleft lip and palate through lip nose revision, cleft rhinoplasty, pharyngoplasty and alveolar bone garft.
• Speech language pathologist: after successful cleft palate surgery, speech therapy is often needed to improve the quality of speech, since the patients need to learn how to use their repaired organs.
• ENT surgeon treats ear problems, which are a possible side effect of cleft.

The team in Lahore is newer and does not yet offer the same range of followup therapies, but also offers high-quality cleft surgeries.
