The Cleft Hospital Pakistan is a modern cleft treatment facility established by Dr. Ijaz Bashir with the support of family and a team of British plastic surgeons with the vision to become a model institution providing the highest quality of cleft care through the application of modern methods of treatment and care for cleft patients in Pakistan.
During the early years after his graduation, Dr. Bashir noticed that a large number of cleft patients came to Bashir Hospital who were left untreated due to poor financial conditions. As patients with cleft require proper care and monitoring since birth with long follow ups, there was the dire need that a sustainable cleft care center is established which exclusively provides proper health care services and surgery that cleft patients demand. Building a cleft care facility that would provide free treatment to indigent patients appeared to be an impossible task to many but Dr. Bashir pushed through all the hardships and finally Cleft Hospital Pakistan was founded in 2010 which has since been offering international standard cleft lip and palate treatment to patients with congenital cleft anomalies at low cost. The hospital is built on more than the 2-acre family owned land in Juliani, G.T road. Dr. Bashir himself overlooked the construction and execution of designing and architectural services of the building keeping in mind all the suggestions provided by the foreign doctors who visited Pakistan regularly.
Currently, Cleft Hospital Pakistan offers primary cleft surgery, speech and language therapy, audiology, dentistry, and orthodontics, as well as secondary surgery as required. It has taken initiative to provide maxillofacial treatment to the patients and aims to do the same with ENT in the future.
