More than 30,000 residents of Raiwaqa and surrounding areas will no longer have to travel to CWM hospital for dental clinic as this service is now available at their doorstep.
A new dental clinic was opened up by Health Minister Dr Neil Sharma at the Raiwaqa Health Centre today as part of the Ministry of Health’s initiative to decentralize health services and make them more accessible to the public.
Dr Sharma said the dental clinic will relieve congestion in CWM Hospital, decrease patient waiting time and also increase community awareness on oral health.
The dental clinic has brand new equipment and dental services will include examinations, minor oral, surgery, filings, extractions, oral health education and referrals.
Approximately $198,000 was spent on the dental clinic.
