Dental Surgery
In September 2007 a complete Dental Surgery was purchased from Dentaid, a charity which provides refurbished dental equipment at cost for third world countries.
The unit was freighted out in October, and in November Malcolm Prideaux, a dentist from Plymouth, flew out to oversee the setting up of the surgery. St Peter’s Dental Surgery was officially opened on 26th November 2007.

Unfortunately the dental therapist who had accepted the position at St Andrew’s withdrew, and consequently we are advertising for a dental therapist, and have also applied to JAICA, a Japanese aid organisation for a volunteer dentist. In the meantime the Medical Assistant at St Andrew’s continues to provide a limited dental service.
