Short Documentary of our previous trip to Gambia 2025 : 

We are pleased to announce our upcoming medical deployment to The Gambia, taking place from the 18th to the 25th of December 2026. A dedicated team of 20 UK-based dental professionals will be volunteering their time and expertise to deliver essential dental services to under-served communities in The Gambia.

The Gambia, despite its beauty and vibrant culture, continues to face serious healthcare challenges. Many regions suffer from extreme poverty and a lack of access to even the most basic healthcare services. Rural areas are especially affected, with limited infrastructure, shortages of trained professionals, and a severe lack of dental resources. This often leads to preventable conditions going untreated, worsening public health and quality of life. Our deployment seeks to help bridge this gap through direct care and education.

Our Dentist team will be working alongside local teams to deliver much needed medical services; particularly for women and children who often face the greatest barriers to care. 

Additionally our goal is to support the establishment of a more sustainable and continuous healthcare system within these underserved and vulnerable communities; providing ongoing medical support even after we leave.

 Our Dental Team will offer:

• Comprehensive oral health examinations

• Oral cancer screenings

• Fluoride varnish applications

• Fillings and extractions

• Oral hygiene workshops for patients and local health workers

We will be working with our charity partner (GLTC)  to ensure that donations are used efficiently to:

• Fund medical and dental supplies and consumables

• Procure essential medications and tools

• Provide educational materials and training for local health workers

• Aid future deployments to carry out similar projects

All volunteers will cover their own travel, accommodation, and expenses; donations will not be used for these costs.
