Established
in 1997, Kantipur Dental Hospital and Kantipur School of Dentistry aim
to promote dental and oral health care education and services in the
country and abroad. On its vision to quality dental and oral health
care services and education, the institution has a team of dedicated,
qualified and experienced professional doctors and supporting staff.
Besides offering quality oral health education and services from a number
of dental hospitals and schools of dentistry, the institution has been
regularly offering a series of health camps in various places to create
mass awareness among the general public regarding the value of oral
health care services in the rural parts. |

We had started serving communty through our effort
to initiate free dental camp from within the periphery of Kantipur Dental
Hospital and were able to reach approximately 13,177 people directly.
Most others were indirectly benefited from the preventive services such
as health awareness in the community and the schools. With collaborative
efforts from organization and supporters, we have been able to conduct
about 67 free community dental health camps since 1997. Most of the
dental camps were organized by KSD and KD. A few of the programs were
also supported by different clubs and organizations such as Rotary Club
of Kathmandu North, Lions Club of Kathmandu & HELP Himalaya-Nepal.
Our services are not only limited to Kathmandu but also reached to different
VDCs of Nawalparasi, Butwal, Parbat, Syangja, Baglung, Pokhara, Dhading
districts and other places.
Organizing the free community and school dental health programs, the
organization has succeeded in winning the faith and confidence and also
has promised to enlighten the community in the same way. We have already
made a tentative plan of free dental camps and school dental health
programs for coming years too.

camp Jan 27, 2001 at Thimi, Feb 10-11, at Suntalitar Village, VDC of
