Celebrating Excellence in Continuous Learning 🦷🌍 It is with great pleasure and admiration that the Ethiopian Dental Professionals’ Association (EDPA) congratulates Dr. Gelana Garoma on successfully completing the 2025–2026 IAOMS Foundation International Fellowship in Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery at GSR Hospital, Institute of Craniofacial and Facial Plastic Surgery, under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Srinivas Gosla Reddy.

Advanced training in cleft and craniofacial surgery contributes directly to strengthening comprehensive oral and maxillofacial healthcare, improving access to specialized care, and ultimately enhancing the quality of life of patients and families affected by craniofacial conditions. At EDPA, we believe that continuous learning is at the heart of quality healthcare. Professionals who remain committed to expanding their knowledge, developing new skills, and learning from global expertise help advance not only their own practice, but the health system as a whole. Dr. Gelana’s achievement is an inspiration to all dental and oral health professionals to embrace lifelong learning, pursue excellence, and bring knowledge back to serve our communities.
