Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. The European Cleft Organisation (ECO) works closely with a diverse network of partners—including hospitals, universities, NGOs, and professional associations—to advance cleft care across Europe and beyond. Here are some of the partners we have worked alongside trying together to improve the lives of all those born with clefts.

By combining clinical expertise, academic research, and community engagement, we work together to develop innovative training, improve early care services, and advocate for patient-centered, inclusive approaches to cleft treatment. We are building a stronger, more connected cleft care community — one that ensures every child and family receives the support they need.
