Watsons Philippines sponsored two Operation Smile cleft-lip and cleft-palate surgery missions that were held simultaneously in Davao City and Dasmarinas, Cavite.
Two teams of over 175 volunteers comprising Watsons employees and cleft-care professionals from nine countries – Australia, Canada, Egypt, Honduras, Jordan, Mexico, Sweden, the U.S. and the Philippines – were mobilised for the two missions, serving people from poor families who could not afford the cost of commercial surgery.
