About us
Foundation São Tomé en Principe Dental Support (STPDS) operating under the name of Dentistry Charity, arose in december 2016 after a invitation by the São Tomé en Principe government. In november 2016 Dutch dentists based around Amsterdam, Rob de Bruin, Marc Ruypers, Jan Looijmans and Tycho van Essen went to the island of São Tomé for a pilot visit.
During this vist all local clinics that support the healthcare on the island were visited and we were shown around the island by local representatives.
The Dental healthcare on the island is in the hands of two dentists and one jawsurgeon and most of the people living on the south side of the island are not in reach of any dental healthcare.
There is some education on dental hygiene but very little.
We believe that we can help the population of São Tomé en Principe.
Support us by donating, contact us for participation or sponsor us with materials.
