Cardiff Dental Brigade April 2014



Rakhee's Message

Hiya!
This April I will be going to ghana with Cardiff Dental brigades to provide essential dental aid to a small community.

There are 148 dentists in the whole of Ghana, which equates to approximately 155,000 people per dentist. The majority of dentists in Ghana work in the two main cities of the country. The rural areas however, have virtually no dental care available to the people. We feel that every individual has the right of access to healthcare and we wish to try and help in our small way to redress these health inequalities.

As a brigade we plan to treat approximately 250 patients and provide oral hygiene instruction and education to the surrounding local communities of over 400 people.

It would be great if you could make a donation to this very worthwhile cause!

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.
