Cardiff Dental Brigade April 2014



Nicholas's Message

Hi everyone,

In April 2014, I will be joining 24 other students from Cardiff Dental School on our dental brigade to Ghana. We are fundraising the cost of the trip and sourcing the necessary dental equipment and medications ourselves.


Once in Ghana we will be providing desperately needed dental treatment to rural communities; performing perio, simple restorations and extractions; all under the supervision of five highly-skilled dentists. We will also run education workshops for the communities, teaching them about proper oral hygiene and how to eat a balanced diet, ensuring they can take care of their long-term oral health. I need to fundraise £1500 for the trip so any donations will be greatly appreciated!

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
