What is the Cost of Free Cleft Surgery in the Middle East?

Background: This project explores the costs of cleft lip and/or palate surgeries in Palestine and Sudan, two low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), in the Middle East.

We hypothesize that the actual cost of surgery is greater than 250 USD.
