Mobile dentistry "The Smile Bus"
After the start of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, daily appeals began coming from internally displaced persons and local population affected by hostilities regarding dental pain.
Given this, the head of CF "Corp32", dentist Nataliia Choban, began providing free dental care to both adults and children who came to Odesa.
"I had no thought of leaving Ukraine, I was thinking about how I could be useful at this time. In peaceful life, I was engaged in my life's profession, which is dentistry. I decided to help from my front, as a dentist" – says Natalia.
Natalia not only provides free dental services, but also works as a volunteer in the humanitarian headquarters and as a medical representative continues to help provide both military and civilians with necessary medical supplies.
She told her story in the "Doors" episode for Public Broadcasting.
"When I came to the humanitarian headquarters at the Odesa Regional Administration, I got into the international department. As a medical representative, I worked and processed requests directly in this field, seeking international donors and support. I did everything I could at that moment" – says Nataliia.
Having the desire to be maximally useful, the project author began providing free dental care for acute pain to both locals and IDPs.
And to help as many people as possible who suffered as a result of rf's military aggression, the idea arose to create a social project of mobile dentistry "The Smile Bus".
