Refugees from South Sudan living on the northern Ugandan border have received dental treatment and oral health education programmes thanks to the dental charity Dentaid.
As a result of its Christmas fundraising appeal, Dentaid was able to fund a team of its Ugandan associates to travel to Mijale in Yumbe District. Thousands of refugees, who fled the fighting in South Sudan, live in 10 large camps which have basic medical facilities but no access to dental care.
Dentaid’s Ugandan associate Angel Nsubuga and his team ran oral health education sessions and clinics offering screening and pain relieving treatments.
