The photo to the right shows Akif, our local
dentist working in the clinic with the donated Castellani equipment from Dentaid in
Britain
The photo of the outside of the building show
the clinic rooms are the first 4 windows on the bottom left, the pale blue tank on the
stand is our water supply but there isnt enough pressure to get water into it without a
pump and even then it is a struggle. Sometimes we fill the tank at night but by the
morning there is no water. We can't use the pump during the day as the nearby tap is the
only hospital supply and for the refugees in nearby buildings. On my last visit the tap
was gone so now it runs all the time!!
At least with a bit of Kiwi ingenuity and a swiss
army knife and a Leatherman tool and some supaglue we are running top notch at present.
The clinic power supply is infrequent and when it is on
there is not enough to run the equipment and the Composite Curing light at the same time!
This photo shows the reception room which I
plan to convert to a surgery as it is underutilised at present and we need more
space.
We hope to extend to 5 days a week next month and have
another dentist keen to join if we can raise the finance.
