Henry Schein UK continues to support Pamoja Programme
Company donated healthcare products to support dental screening and treatment for school children in Tanzania
Gillingham, 25 October 2016 – The word Pamoja means “together” in Swahili. The Pamoja Programme is a collaboration between the European Dental Students’ Association (EDSA), the Tanzania Dental Students’ Association (TDSA), Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). The Pamoja mission statement is “together maintaining a quality smile” and the team believes in empowering the Tanzanian population through oral health education and its project goals were created with this belief in mind. After supporting the Pamoja Programme’s first outreach mission in 2015, where 2,800 school children were educated about oral health and 2,000 screened for oral diseases within a two-week period, Henry Schein UK continues to donate important dental healthcare products for the programme in Tanzania.
