The platform for dental electives and missions

The programme also serves as the primary platform through which international dental electives, humanitarian dental missions, and collaborative oral health projects are delivered. Visiting participants learn alongside Ugandan healthcare professionals and students, within professionally supervised environments.

The foundation for what comes next

The experience and credibility established through Oral Health Uganda now provide the foundation upon which YKMI is expanding multidisciplinary healthcare education and international partnerships, across nine disciplines from dentistry and medicine to nursing, pharmacy and public health.
