title: A new dental health project in Zambia.
abstract: In Zambia's population of 8 million, 69% are under 24 years of age. The country has a crippling foreign debt, and consequently public services are poorly funded. From March this year my wife and I have been working in Zambia. I have been asked to establish and develop a dental service based at Mukinge Hospital in the North Western Province. Zambia borders eight other countries on the central African plateau and lies at an altitude of between 3000 and 6000 feet.
