Dental aid recognised by the German Dental Association
Many refugees don’t receive dental treatment after they arrive in Turkey. Dental services are often expensive and government healthcare packages only cover them to a very limited extent. This is where Daylight for All comes in. The Dortmund-based non-profit organisation has been dedicated to providing dental care for refugees in Turkey since 2020. Daylight for All is officially recognised by the German Dental Association.
Dental aid thrives on collaboration
The Daylight for All pilot project is centred in Ankara. Around 14,000 treatments are carried out there each year in dental clinics specifically set up for refugees. This wouldn't be possible without the help of charitable trusts, associations and dental companies like DMG. Donations are used for buying dental treatment materials, laboratory costs, dentist fees and ongoing dental clinic expenses.
A special word of thanks goes out to the dentists and dental assistants working there. They all put in a lot of hard work to do justice to the organisation's philosophy: “Be there for others and draw strength from your actions”.
