In association with Professor David David of the Australian Craniofacial Unit, Yayasan Senyum sends patients to Adelaide for operations which cannot be performed locally.
Twice a year Professor David comes to Denpasar to hold a clinic with plastic surgeon DR. AA Asmarajaya of RSUP Sanglah. More serious craniofacial cases are assessed at this clinic and patients selected for operations in Adelaide.
The South Australian Government generously provides free operations for the patients going to Adelaide. Yayasan Senyum liases with the Cranofacial Unit and makes all arrangements for getting the patient and an escort to Adelaide.
To achieve this, Yayasan Senyum sources funding for:
- Passports and Visas
- Air travel
- Craniofacial Unit fee

Cleft lip and/or palate patients assisted by Yayasan Senyum have their operations in Bali, either at the public hospital, RSUP Sanglah, in Denpasar or a private hospital.

Patients need help because they may not:

- Know that operations are available
- Know how to go about obtaining an operation
- Have the money to reach the hospital
- Know how to negotiate the hospital system
- Have anywhere to stay while they do this
- The services provided by Yayasan Senyum are designed to overcome these problems.
