For Quechua people living in remote villages, the cost of traveling to a clinic keeps many from seeking the care they desperately need. Hope Dental Clinic serves people in the Apurímac region, one of the most impoverished in Peru, where most villages have no available dental care. Through this mobile clinic, and thanks to advancing dental technology, dental workers are able to provide high-quality, comprehensive care in remote settings.
