Conference summary
A country with less than a million inhabitants, divided into 9 islands, where the teaching of dental medicine has not yet taken its first steps. The areas of expertise are few and with limitations related to updates.
Sectoral skills still scarce but of great interest in dentistry have been a little explored alternative. Cape Verde faces serious sustainability challenges of the oral health sector, in the medium and long term. Come and get to know our reality and maybe contribute to this panorama changing.
Small steps take a walk. The prestige of dentistry will be greater when everyone grows up.
