A New Lease on Life…

A 16-year-old girl came to the mobile clinic in a small village. She had a tall tooth growing under her tongue which was causing a speech impediment and social stigma. She had been unable to afford dental care. A surgeon on a visiting medical team was able to remove the tooth, and it changed her life. The look on her face, the wide smile, and the hugs said it all.

Many times, simple procedures make an incredible difference in the lives of Tanzanians. Thank you for supporting the work of NHIH in bringing hope and healing to young and old alike!

Watch below to hear the story as told by the surgeon who performed the procedure.
