Human International Appeal

In May 2006, Dr Alaredy decided to donate the mobile surgery unit to the Human Appeal International http://www.humanappeal.org.uk/. The unit was transported to Sudan in Africa to provide dental treatment for schools and villages which have not had access to any dental services previously .

Dr Alaredy visited Sudan in August 2006, for a short period of time to train the local dentists on setting up this service, and surprisingly on it's first day more than one hundred patients were examined and over 70 patients had treatment on site.

During this trip Dr Alaredy had several meetings with WHO, UN representatives and the health minister in Sudan who demonstrated their support and encouragement in launching and further developing this service.

During my trip I came across school children 12 years old who had no knowledge whatsoever of tooth paste or a tooth brush. I met patients with serious dental disease that had been suffering for over 12 months. The people in Sudan are so grateful and welcoming and work hard in difficult conditions to improve their lives
