PCS was founded in 2007 to provide free care for Palestinian children with cleft lip and palate, and other congenital craniofacial anomalies. The Cleft Society is made up of Palestinian surgeons, speech therapists, dentists, orthodontists, geneticists, and pediatricians, as well as foreign cleft practitioners who have provided support to the Palestinian practitioners. PCS is supported by the University of North Carolina (UNC) Medical Foundation.

more on NCD global health platform
LIVESTRONG has an excellent platform to consider when approaching the global health burden of NCDs. The core elements of their platform are defined as (1) education and awareness, (2) prevention and risk reduction, (3) screening and early detection, (4) diagnostics and staging, (5) treatment, (6) surveillance and monitoring, (7) treatment. Each core element creates an opportunity for improving access and reducing global burden.
