The most prevalent congenital abnormalities of the craniofacial structure are cleft lip and palate, both hard and soft. In India, there are around 24.5 million births each year, and there are between 27,000 and 33,000 cases of cleft palates reported annually. Inequalities occur in both access to and quality of cleft care, with notable inequalities between urban and rural locations. Due to this imbalance, as well as a lack of knowledge, an accumulation of untreated clefts of the lip and palate has resulted in a huge health care problem in India.

Dr. Krishna Shama Rao, HOD, Consultant Craniofacial & Aesthetic Surgeon at BGS Gleneagles Global Hospital in Bengaluru, furthered his remarks regarding the most typical craniofacial defects being treated at the facility by saying, "The conditions that are frequently treated, especially in the paediatric age group, are birth defects, which range from the most simple but widespread condition, known as cleft lip and palate, to the most complex deformity, known as craniosynostosis, in which the growth centers of the skull prematurely fuse, placing pressure on the brain and resulting in severe complications involving the brain and eye. And because such disorders require highly top-level treatment, a facility like BGS Gleneagles Global Hospital is the best place to treat them."
