PLANS FOR FUTURE

In the absence of sufficient dentist to patient ratio in the country, Dr. Brown suggested the formation of oral health clubs and deployment of health professionals to various communities to educate people on good oral health practices.

He added: “It is also an element of ignorance; we need oral health clubs, just as we have keep-fit clubs, in schools and communities that will sensitise people about the care of the teeth”.

In the interim, attention of the trustees is focussed on promotion and an awareness campaign as well as seeking partners and supporters from the dental community as well as the Ghanaian diaspora in the UK.
