🌍 Supporting Communities in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Our Implantologist, Dr Dery Toupar, recently travelled to Sierra Leone in West Africa to assist at a medical and dental camp organised by the Better Lives Foundation.
The communities visited have extremely limited access to healthcare. Many people living in these areas do not have access to a doctor, and some had never even heard of dental care before.
Over the course of one week, a dedicated team of doctors and dentists from across the UK treated more than 200 patients, providing vital medical and dental care to both children and adults.
The camp was made possible thanks to the incredible support of practices and companies across the UK, including anaesthetic supplies donated by Mawsley Dental Clinic, alongside dental equipment provided by practices nationwide.
Reflecting on the trip, Dr Toupar shared that one of the most memorable experiences was treating a rare disease called Actinomycosis, and being able to share the case and learning opportunity with younger training dentists on the trip.
Alongside dental treatment, the medical team also treated patients suffering from heart palpitations, malaria, and fevers in both children and adults.
We are incredibly proud of Dr Toupar and all the volunteers involved in making such a meaningful difference to these communities. 💙
