The aim of the present study is to present a multidisciplinary approach in the prevention of abandonment of children with congenital cleft lip and palate and the role of the nurse in it. Methods: Based on a survey, the readiness of the nurse to participate in a multidisciplinary team in the care of children with congenital cleft lip and palate was established. Results: Over 2/3 (71.10%) of the respondents believe that congenital cleft lip and palate is a socially significant problem for our society. A significant proportion of the surveyed medical professionals (89.60%) indicated that it had happened in their practice to try to persuade parents to take care of a child with a congenital cleft lip and palate, with 92.7% stating that they never advised parents to abandon a child born with this type of abnormality. The cooperation of the members of the interdisciplinary team allows for the creation of a model of long-term treatment: ie. from pregnancy to birth, from early childhood to school and in adolescence to young age. The role of nurses in this multidisciplinary team is related to providing care for patients with congenital cleft lip and palate during the treatment process, as well as solving various problems related to growth (the condition before and after surgery, physical and psychosocial development and others). Conclusion: The nursing care system actively promotes holistic care and support for patients with congenital cleft lip and palate and their families. The role of the nurse is to ensure a smooth transition from diagnosis in prenatal diagnosis to birth and then throughout the path of treatment and ongoing care in the community.
