Beyond the Code: Advancing Health Care Innovation at Operation Smile

At Operation Smile, we are committed to advancing sustainable and innovative health care solutions to ensure that everyone, regardless of location or background, can access the care they need.

We are proud to share a film produced by @‌BBCStoryWorks for the #BeyondTheCode series. Earlier this year, the BBC StoryWorks team filmed with Operation Smile in Musanze, Rwanda, to document how we are using AI technology to transform the surgical evaluation process for cleft conditions. This film highlights the life-changing impact of our work and demonstrates our dedication to advancing health equity and delivering safe, high-quality care for all our patients. By integrating AI into the surgical process, we are driving innovations that will shape the future of cleft care and improve outcomes for those we serve.

We extend our gratitude to @‌Microsoft, Partnerships on AI, the University of Rwanda, the Rwandan Ministry of Health, Ruhengeri Hospital and Musanze District for their support in making this work possible.
