On May 4, 2022, the Himdent Foundation embarked on an extraordinary journey to bring dental care to JHS Sarchi, a remote school in Himachal Pradesh’s breathtaking Tirthan Valley. After a grueling 20-hour trek through treacherous terrain, the team set up their camp in a place where few have ventured to provide essential dental services.
Dr. Aditya Vohra kicked off the camp with an engaging orientation lecture, aiming to raise awareness about preventive dental healthcare among the students. The camp, which included 26 check-ups and 42 fillings, was a significant success, leaving a lasting impact on the children and the school staff.
The journey to Tirthan Valley exemplifies the lengths the Himdent Foundation is willing to go to ensure that even the most remote communities receive vital dental care. Navigating the rugged paths and unpredictable weather was no small feat, but the team’s dedication to reaching these far-off places reflects their commitment to improving oral health across India.
In areas like Tirthan Valley, where dental care is often out of reach, such outreach programs are crucial. They not only address immediate dental issues but also educate children on the importance of preventive care, helping to foster long-term health habits. The camp’s success underscores the Foundation’s mission to bring smiles and health education to every corner of the country, no matter how distant or difficult to access.
