MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC

INTEGRATED MOBILE AND DENTAL CARE CLINICS

Dental Care can be as simple as tooth brushing or complex as treating diseases such as heart attack and strokes resulting from tooth bacterial infections. Preventive dental care costs less than a heart operation or treating other diseases caused by tooth decay such as diabetes‚ TB‚ HIV/AIDS and cancer. But if we must treat‚ quality care is not only a requirement but the principle of Microhealth Global Dental Care Center.

The growing trend of health outreach programs requires outreach health clinic like the one provided by traditional hospitals. However‚ poverty‚ lack of specialized staffs‚ lack of education and bad roads prevents rapid movement of patients to health centers and hospitals. As a result‚ the outreach Dental Clinic brings medical care closer to the people. Where the Mobile Clinic cannot reach‚ we dispatch dental technicians on motorbikes as first respondents. We have programmed twenty-two health stops in Mbengwi District. See visual of diagram … MBENGWI DISTRICT MOBILE STOPS
