The Dental Program

The Dental/RAWCS program to Vaiola Hospital and to the other hospitals of the Kingdom of Tonga has been running since 1996. Each year we focus on new sustainable projects with the aim of helping the local staff to provide more comprehensive dental treatment to its people. This is done by education and training, by the installation of donated dental equipment, supporting Preventive Dentistry programs and the provision of instruments and materials, according to the changing needs of the Tonga Dental Department. Recent visits have evolved into a more general program, including Tongan born Australians from the Fofo'anga club..

This year the volunteers extended their scope to include the Cook Islands
