Beth on DVP

Over the last couple of weeks, we've hosted another Dental Volunteer Programme with UK dentists and dental nurses coming over for two weeks to help train clinical officers in emergency dentistry.  This time, Beth got stuck in and joined the team training the clinical officers.  She was based in the rural district of Geita (about 4 hours from Mwanza) where there is a huge need for dental services.  The team did a great job and have left behind 5 trained clinical officers who can now offer a tooth extraction service to those in their villages who suffer with dental pain.
