Children in low-income settings suffer from preventable and treatable conditions, including congenital anomalies like cleft lip and palate (CLP). In this talk, Dr. Olivera will explore CLP as a global health challenge, with a focus on Bolivia, and the vital role of pediatrics in advancing health equity worldwide.
