The dental clinic

I want to show you what our semi-portable clinic is like. It is located at Avotrou Medical Clinic in a part of Cotonou called Akpakpa. The facility was built about a year before we arrived but had yet not been used. When we leave in December one of our partners, Daslin Small, will open a proper medical clinic at the site.

Sterilization.

We recently got digital X-ray which is a helpful diagnostic tool.

Every night it is covered up to protect from the dusty environment.
