Over 8,000 Free Cleft Surgeries Completed Since 2012
Jabalpur, October 12, 2025 — Dube Surgical and Dental Hospital, Ghamapur Road, concluded its week-long “Smile Week” celebration with a powerful keynote session by international motivational speaker Naseer Khan, marking a decade of transformative cleft care in partnership with Smile Train India.
A Decade of Transforming Lives Through Smile Train Partnership
Since its establishment in 1999, Smile Train India has revolutionized cleft care in developing nations through its sustainable partnership model with local hospitals and medical professionals. The organization has enabled over 2 million free cleft surgeries worldwide, with more than 700,000 surgeries performed across India—making it one of the largest cleft care initiatives in the country.
Smile Train’s comprehensive approach extends beyond surgery to include speech therapy for voice correction, orthodontic treatment for misaligned teeth, corrective jaw and nose surgeries, and psychosocial support—addressing the complete physical and emotional needs of affected children and their families.
As a dedicated partner since 2012, Dube Surgical and Dental Hospital has successfully provided free cleft treatment to nearly 8,000 patients. The hospital’s expert team—led by Dr. Gunjan Dube (Maxillofacial Surgeon), Dr. Pallavi Dube, Dr. Shyam Bose, and Dr. Rajesh Mishra—continues to serve as a beacon of hope for families who would otherwise lack access to life-changing medical care.
“Our partnership with Smile Train has enabled us to provide world-class cleft care to thousands of families,” said Dr. Gunjan Dube. “But we believe healing goes beyond surgery—it encompasses emotional well-being and building confidence. That’s why this year’s Smile Week focused on the deeper meaning and power of a smile.”
L*International Speaker Naseer Khan Delivers Transformative Session on “The Power of a Smile”
The highlight of the October 11 closing ceremony was an inspiring keynote session by Naseer Khan, an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, author, and creator of Neuro Coding™—a methodology that combines neuroscience with behavioral transformation. Khan has delivered life-changing programs across India and internationally, helping individuals master their emotions and unlock peak performance.
In his session titled “The Power of a Smile,” Khan took the audience on a fascinating journey into the neuroscience of happiness. He explained how a smile is not merely a facial expression but a powerful biochemical trigger that can transform our entire physical and mental state.
“When you smile, your brain instantly releases what I call the ‘happiness chemicals’—dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins,” Khan told the captivated audience of children, families, and medical professionals. “These neurotransmitters don’t just reduce stress; they infuse your body with renewed energy, optimism, and resilience.”
What made the session particularly impactful was Khan’s demonstration of practical Neuro Coding™ exercises. Through simple yet scientifically-backed techniques, he guided attendees through exercises that brought immediate shifts in their emotional states. Children and adults alike found themselves laughing, energized, and visibly transformed within minutes.
“When you change your physiology—how you stand, how you breathe, how you smile—your psychology automatically transforms,” Khan emphasized. “This is the real secret to happiness and inner strength. And for these beautiful children who have received the gift of a new smile through surgery, understanding this power can change their entire life trajectory.”
The session resonated deeply with the audience, particularly the families of cleft patients who have witnessed firsthand how reconstructive surgery transforms not just appearance but confidence and social integration.
Community Engagement: Smile Wall and Smile Promise
Throughout the week, the hospital’s “Smile Wall” installation invited visitors to share what makes them smile, creating a tapestry of gratitude and joy. Children participated enthusiastically in interactive games and concluded the event by taking a collective “Smile Promise”: “I will keep smiling and help others smile too.”
“Seeing our young patients embrace these techniques for emotional wellness added a meaningful dimension to our medical care approach,” noted Dr. Pallavi Dube. “Naseer Khan’s session beautifully complemented our surgical work by empowering these children with tools for lifelong confidence and happiness.”
Distinguished Gathering Celebrates Decade of Service
The closing ceremony was attended by distinguished guests including renowned pediatrician Dr. Pradeep Dube, Dr. Shishir Jethi, Dr. Manasi Harshe, Mrs. Rani Shukla, Mrs. Sonia Arora, Mrs. Anjana Arora, Mr. Suraj Jharia (Smile Train Madhya Pradesh Coordinator), Mrs. Manisha Dube (Hospital Director), senior surgeon Dr. Anil Dube, Dr. Pooja Chaurasia, Mrs. Susheel Nigam, and the complete teams from Dube Hospital and Smile Train India.
