PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAM

Outreach service of Rajas Dental College to benefit the Society

We render the needs of the rural community surrounding our institution through Oral Health screening camps both in Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli districts. Each year around 5,000 plus individuals get benefited from these camps and the treatments are offered at free of cost.

We cater the needs of around 4,000 school students every year by conducting school camps with an emphasis on educating school students on maintenance of Oral Health care and create awareness on associated disorders.

We run two fully functional satellite clinics at Radhapuram Village Tirunelveli District, and at Vetturnimadam, Nagercoil. Every year around 2000 individuals get benefitted.

In addition we have memorandum of Understanding with Organisations of diverse horizons like (CAST old age home, Vivekananda Kendra, Peace assembly of god, Blind school, Tirunelveli to name a few...).

MOBILE DENTAL UNIT

We regularly conduct Oral Health awareness campaigns on “Anti tobacco day”, “World Oral Health day” & “World health day” by means of social mob or flash mob to procure public attention. We do spread oral and general health related messages through pamphlets, signature campaigns along with public addressing aids.
