The COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools around the globe to adjust their lesson plans and prioritize online learning. We as an organization that reaches out also to school children is currently thinking of ways to bring oral health education online by partnering with online schools and classrooms. Our current project is developing a telehealth kiosk that will serve the health needs of those who currently have no access to dental clinics.
This innovative teledental and digital health care platform will provide rural communities with access to quality oral healthcare services from around the world whenever needed and in the most efficient manner, leveraging technology. Rather than scheduling an appointment at a doctor's office or making their way to the local dental center, patients simply walk into a telemedicine kiosk to communicate with a dental care provider and get an almost instant feedback encompassing issues ranging from tooth ache, swollen gums, coughs and colds to follow-ups after a dental surgery.
Our pilot project is kicking off in Igede community of Ekiti State thanks to donations, solidarity grant(AFHE) and micromini grants gotten from our precious donors and community. With your donations we have been able to create more solutions to fostering quality oral healthcare in rural communities.
