The Sahlgrenska Academy,  University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is eventually one of the largest and most prestigious University Hospitals in Northern Europe. A team from there was on a week-long visit to the Guwahati Cleft Care Centre in 2017.

Dr Hans Mark and Dr Patrik Boivie, Associate Professors in the Department of Plastic Surgery, had come. Their sole objective was forming a research collaboration with the Guwahati Comprehensive Cleft Care Centre. The Centre is one of the largest cleft care centres globally. Also, it observes surgery protocols and studies the long-term results of cleft reconstructive surgeries.
