Need for change

[Muzungu Hirwa, MD @hirwa94]

Imagine a healthcare system where the first question to the patient is “Do you have money?” “Which insurance do you use?”

Or else, go to pay, go to pharmacy and bring medicine so we can treat you.

Never understood why. Even in restaurants we pay after the service 🤷🏿

[Rwanda Biomedical Centre @RBCRwanda]

Today #Rwanda joins the World to commemorate the 2021 World Oral Health Day at the College of Medicine and Health Science School of dentistry under the theme, "Be Proud of your mouth"

[Rwanda Biomedical Centre @RBCRwanda]

The first oral health survey published in 2018 revealed that:

- 60.0% had calculus.
- 70.6% had never visited an oral health provider.

Thank you for sharing your story @zenab_aslam

@thebda will continue to lobby for official keyworker status, with 40% of dentists reporting problems accessing childcare, the government must resolve this urgently
