About Us
In November, following a request from the Italian State Department, Operation Smile Italy flew 38 Iraqi children with their parents or guardians, as well as 11 Iraqi doctors to Rome, Italy. Working at Villa San Pietro and Villa Flaminia Hospitals, Operation Smile Italy medical volunteers provided free reconstructive surgery to the children. In addition, they taught a Craniofacial Malformation and Traumatology course, which was attended by the Iraqi doctors and Italian doctors from surrounding universities. In May, Operation Smile Italy organized a conference in Rome for all medical directors from Operation Smile’s partner countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The sessions focused on inter-foundation and chapter collaborations in medicine and scientific training that will lead to improved and sustained healthcare for children suffering from facial deformities in this region. And finally, Operation Smile Italy welcomed its new Chairman of the Board, Santo Versace, president of Gianni Versace S.p.A., based in Milan, Italy.
