Cleft soft palate is generally a congenital condition, mainly caused by external factors interfering with the soft palate during embryonic development, and needs to be corrected surgically or it may affect the child’s articulation, confidence, daily communication and so on. The cost of this surgery is currently around$20,000 to$50,000, with the average cost being around$30,000, depending on the hospital the patient visits, the hospital’s fees, the severity of the lesion, whether the cleft is a degree I, II, or III soft palate, as well as whether or not the patient has an infection after the surgery, and whether or not there are any post-surgical complications, amongst other factors. Some patients may need to have the surgery done in stages, which may cost more. All in all, the cost of cleft palate surgery is still very expensive, and it is recommended that patients consult their local health insurance, the local Ministry of Civil Affairs, and UNICEF, etc., to see if there are any free activities.
