Ilam-oral health Program

Rural populations are affected by oral disease, with higher levels of periodontal disease, caries and the loss of teeth. These issues are worsened by barriers in access to oral healthcare services and minimal promotion of healthy behaviours in rural communities. Certain interventions, including dental outreach camps and educational initiatives, have been successful in addressing rural challenges. HDSN-Health and Development Society Nepal with the support from the #dhampusfoundation, conducted oral health program in coordination with Namsaling Community Development Center, in Namsaling, Ilam.
