Welcome Message

Dear colleagues from all specialties involved in the treatment of CLP patients and related malformations,

It gives me great pleasure to cordially invite you to the World Congress CLEFT 2000 of the International Cleft Lip and Palate Foundation. This Millennium Congress will be the nucleus of an international network of affiliated to treatment centres. As a patron,  the World Health Organisation recognises the humanitarian character of the Congress. The organising and scientific committees have compiled an outstanding program centred upon the most pertinent aspects in the field of cleft lip and palate and craniofacial malformations.

 

It is the declared aim of the Congress to sustain and improve the exchange of knowledge between specialists of different fields. Moreover this historic Congress should help to overcome social political and monetary gaps to improve the conditions of disabled patients. As the world is becoming smaller education and coordination of activities and more and more a pressing need nowadays.

Communication has become the most important factor in human development. The Internet has broken all boundaries. Possibilities of new media are still not applied to the fullest extent. According to the G8 global healthcare applications project (GHAP), we support:

  • Development of guidelines for healthcare telematics and craft projects;
  • Collaboration with WHO and other international and national organisations;
  • Development of cooperation and networks between the various aid projects;
  • Proposals for national and international research and action programs;
  • Statements and definitions for partnership between centres of excellence and every latest treatment centres.

The Congress will be accessible via Internet to worldwide audience. Universities and other institutions as well as private participants will have access to the Congress. Lectures and presentations will be available for at least a period of two months. Repeated access is possible there is teaching in documentation will be improved. Email requests of Internet participants will be discussed during the scientific sessions. The presidential lecture and keynote lectures will offer the latest skills and knowledge presented by the most experienced specialists and researchers in the field of craniofacial malformations.

Master classes will present successful concepts of team purchasing CLP treatment. The goal of these major plenary sessions is to be oriented about the long-term results (15-25 years), reported by internationally leading multidisciplinary teams. Only long-term results allow the analyzation of the value of primary treatment concepts such as skeletal growth pattern, occlusion, speech, soft tissue balance, psychological condition, need for secondary surgery. For new teams and for all of us it’s necessary to be aware of the importance of the choice of the primary treatment concept. 

All participants are invited to submit their contribution such as free papers videos and posters to the organising committee. Free papers posters and videos preferably should deal with new concepts long-term results and findings in the broader field of CLP treatment. For participants and accompanying persons an attractive social program and a post-Congress tour will be provided by our organisation.

I trust you will enjoy the Congress in Zurich,
