Sustainable Development Goals for Cleft Care

Abstract

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all. Understanding these initiatives helps everyone develop insights into critical global issues, including health care management, education, gender equality, and other challenges related to the 17 SDGs. Implementing these goals will contribute to sustainable development for cleft care in the least developed countries. The authors critically reviewed relevant articles on cleft lip and palate from 2014 to 2022. The authors' review utilized the online search tools Springer Nature, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using keywords of “cleft lip and palate,” “cleft outreach program,” “sustainable cleft care,” “sustainable development goals for cleft,” and “sustainable outreach program.” In addition, the authors investigated the potentially necessary SDGs for sustainable cleft care management.
