Press coverage details
Among the various programs that were held during the World Oral Health Day, we also conducted the mass screening of oral disease and awareness regarding oral health in heart of kathmandu, the capital of Nepal- Basantapur Durbar Square in between the public. We believe any project wont be successful until and unless it has good amount of outreach and the heart of the core city would be the ideal place to stimulate the movement we want to conduct. This was helped further by media coverage with many news portals like, The Himalayan Times, Onlinekhabar.com which has tremendous viewers in Nepal. Given below are the links:
