A dental team from Kilu’ufi Hospital will visit rural communities in East Kwaio and southern part Malaita Province next week.
Acting Chief Dental Officer of Kilu’ufi Hospital, Stewart Kaimauri said as part of their outreach programme, their visit will start from September 22 till the 4th of October.
He stated that the main outreach activities which will be open for everyone include; dental consultations, tooth extractions, dental awareness in a few schools, and dental referrals.
“Our outreach program has been set for East Kwaio and Southern Malaita, but I think other communities or villages will miss out.
“For communities that want us to come to your areas, we will come if your community has more patients,” he said.
Meanwhile, Kaimauri mentioned that in Malaita Province, Kilu’ufi Hospital, Malu’u, and the newly opened Atoifi clinic offer dental services.
He said they plan to visit communities and areas that reach out to their dental clinic for a visit to their communities.
“Many other communities and areas want us to visit them, but for the start, we will begin in Southern Malaita,” he said.
The Kilu’ufi Dental Clinic outreach program is supported and funded by the Australian government.
