The NZDF is conducting Exercise Tropic Twilight from 8-22 May, in collaboration with Samoa’s Ministry of Health, to provide a range of dental treatment, including restorative dentistry.
The treatment is being provided through a clinic at Poutasi village on the southeast coast of Samoa’s main island, Upolu.
Major Philip Worthington, who is leading the NZDF contingent, said the team was seeing up to 40 patients a day.
“Our emphasis is on getting as much quality dentistry work done for each of our patients as possible,” he said.
