Mobile Dental Clinic
The
Rotary Clubs of Toronto - Don Mills, Toronto - Don Valley and Yerevan,
Armenia worked together to establish a mobile dental clinic. This
clinic will travel throughout the mountainous regions of Armenia
and provide free dental care to the entire population of the small
villages. It will also educate the children of these villages in
proper oral hygiene and preventive dental care. Each village will
be visited at least once a year.
Most villages in the mountainous regions
of Armenia do not have access to dental services. The people of
these villages must travel on foot to the closest major centre many
miles away for any dental care. The children in these communities
do not have access to any preventive dental care or education. There
are approximately 150 villages with less than 1,000 people. Average
population is 500. None of these villages have access to dental
care.
