Goal 3. Good Health and Well-being
Full Medical Screening Day and Dental Health Convoys
The college of Dentistry has sent 7 convoys over a year starting from August 2021 till September 2022. The convoys have provided minor dental treatment procedures that were carried out in the mobile dental clinic provided by the Faculty of Dentistry - Alexandria University (according to AASTMT-Alexandria University partnership agreement). This was in addition to a full oral screening and oral health education. The main aim of the convoys is to share dental health awareness among disadvantaged people as they covered: orphanages in Alexandria, Down's Syndrome patients' guest houses, Old Alamein City rural areas, in addition to the workers' camp in New Alamein City.
The screened patients were given "Patient's ID" cards with their medical and dental conditions that would give them access to the clinic back in our college to receive full treatment.
The college has also held a "Full Medical Screening Day" for all workers and personnel working at the AAST Alamein Campus, providing a full medical and dental screening within the campus in a joint work with the AAST Medical Administration. And the patients were again provided with cards to provide them with treatment in our clinics.
The overall number of patients screened and served during those events was 600 patients
