Who We Are
Bangladesh Craniofacial Foundation
Bangladesh Craniofacial Foundation is a multi-specialty humanitarian foundation devoted to the patients in Bangladesh. It was founded on 30th December 2022 in Dhaka, Bangladesh and it is a non-profit organization. All members are doctors and permitted to Surgeons (Plastic Surgeons, ENT Surgeons, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons). We aim to educate other health care professionals to increase awareness for earlier diagnosis and treatment. Lastly, we train other surgeons in the latest techniques to advance surgical care for the patients with craniofacial defects.
Bangladesh Craniofacial Foundation is dedicated to promoting research and training to improve methods of prevention and correction of craniofacial abnormalities and other deformities. Bangladesh craniofacial foundation wants to do so much more than simply raise awareness what we want to accomplish is to support research and contribute to the enhancement of skills, knowledge, and
best practices. All of these efforts combined will have a significant effect on a child suffering from conditions like cleft lip and palate, metopic, unicornal and sagittal synostosis, Pierre Robin and Apert syndrome, and other similar abnormalities.
Developments in research lead to efficient and faster diagnoses of conditions. This also helps doctors broaden their knowledge about craniofacial
abnormalities. This allows them to perform procedures that provide the best possible results for patients. Proper treatment will have a profound effect on the patient’s life. It may correct or prevent speech problems and allow a child to live a normal life. Craniofacial Surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with deformities of the head, skull, face, teeth, neck, jaws and associated structures. Although craniofacial treatment often involves manipulation of bone and teeth. Craniofacial Surgeons deal with bone, teeth, skin, nerve, muscle, and other related anatomy. Orofacial Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis (isolated and syndromic), craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequelae of facial fractures, cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Apert's Syndrome, Crouzon's Syndrome, Craniofacial microsomia, microtia and other congenital teeth, ear anomalies, and many others. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting seminer and training to improve methods of prevention and correction of craniofacial abnormalities.
