In collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Sudan, the Sudanese Dental Association and the African Women Cancer Awareness Association, a group of dental students from Howard University College of Dentistry and I are going to Khartoum, Sudan's capital this July for 10 days in a dental outreach mission. Sudan is located in Northeast Africa, and it is the third largest country in Africa.
Our services will be directed to providing dental care for under-served communities, facilitate educational lectures at local dental institutions to permit networking and knowledge exchange.
Sudan is also suffering from an endemic of oral cancer due to toombak dipping-a form of smokeless tobacco- that is highly prevalent in Sudan. We will be working with the dental professionals to educate and lower the prevalence of oral cancer. If you would like to read more about the attribution of oral cancer in the Sudan, you may find more information at the following link: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2057178X16685729
Presently, we are requesting dental supplies and monetary donations. Your donations will go towards diagnostic tools to screen for oral cancer, purchase additional supplies, as well as its transport to the clinical site in Sudan. We were requested by the Ministry of Health to provide a donation of VELscope, ViziLite, and portable X-ray tools.
Together we are helping bring health and hope to communities in need - one mouth at a time. We thank you for your continued support throughout this journey.
Sincerely,
HUCD Sudan's Mission Committee
