In 1998, NCF implemented the first international cleft mission to Vietnam. Since that, we have been to 68 overseas cleft missions around the world. We have been to Vietnam, Mainland China, Burma, Cambodia, the Philipines, Indonisia, Dominican Republic, Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia, etc. NCF not only goes on a mission to provide free surgeries, we assess the potentialities of local partners on developing a cleft medical team, to find out problems if possible and have the solutions straight away.

Last January, NCF went on the 69th mission trip to Myanmar. It has been 9 years since last time we was in Myanmar for a mission. It was a 7 days mission. 10 Taiwanese medical practitioners along with 2 NCF staffs joined the mission. During the mission, few of the team members were not acclimated to the food and climate; symptoms of diarrhea and vomit were happened on the early days as their first arrived. However, they still held on until the last day. Totally, there were 23 patients being operated and 20 of them were cleft patients. One of the medical practitioners said “All the hard works were paid off as we see the bright smiles on patients' faces.”
