The Cleft Registry The Cleft Registry is a database under construction to follow all Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza who have craniofacial anomalies. The goal of the database is to allow follow-up on all children with clefts, their medical and surgical histories and future need for treatment. Participants in the creation of the database include personnel from Birzeit University, Al-Najah Medical School and Al-Quds University, as well as the University of North Carolina.

The initial survey for the Cleft Registry will take only 5 minutes to complete.  The link is provided below.
