Introduction

 

Zimbabwe is a landlocked in south-central Africa shaped roughly like a water droplet falling from the Caprivi Strip of Namibia. It is situated entirely within the tropics -between 15 degrees south and 22 degrees south latitude - but most Zimbabwe consists of a highveld plateau lying between 900 and 1700 metres over sea level. The country enjoys a remarkably temperate climate. The rainy season is between November and February. Zimbabwe is bound on the north-west by Zambia, on the east and north-east by Mozambique, on the south - west by Botswana, and on the south by the Republic of South Africa. Four countries (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia) meet at a single point at the countryÕs westernmost extreme. ZimbabweÕs maximum width is 725 km, while north to south it stretches 835 km. The total area is 390Õ580 sq km, roughly about 9,5 times SwitzerlandÕs size.

 

The capital of Zimbabwe is Harare and the whole country is divided into 8 provinces. English is the official language, Shona the first national language and Ndebele the second national language. Besides these 2 indigenous languages, about 15 dialects are spoken in Zimbabwe, depending on which tribe is concerned. The population grows at a rate of 3.5% and in 1991 (last official census), Zimbabwe had approximately around 11million inhabitants. The currency used is the Zimbabwe dollar (Z$) and the exchange rate in 1996 was CHF 1.-  to Z$ 7.7.-.

 

ZimbabweÕs infrastructure is already on level which permits easy travelling, construction, introduction of institutions, industrial and health establishments. Despite of this, ZimbabweÕs economy is very low, but most of the inhabitants have access to school and health care facilities. Progress has been made in supplying arid regions with water in the development of irrigation projects for farming and agriculture.

In all African countries, it has been established that in the domain of dentistry, the situation has deteriorated dramatically over the past thirty years. According to the World Health Organization, we are witnessing a devastating increase in the number of cavities and gum disease in this area of the world. Various factors such as the unfortunate modification of eating habits which include excessive sugar intake, the lack of knowledge of the mouth and dental diseases and of their prevention, the shortage of health services available including qualified staff and management and lack of equipment, the overall poor health of the general population can often mask or worsen a dental problem. Not to mention the harsh environment with its demographic problems both socio-economic and geographic, can all be attributed to this decline in oral health.

 

Efforts have been made to set up clinics and Òhelp Africans help themselvesÓ in treating dental and mouth pathologies, but it has become quite evident, that it is utopic to wait for impressive results in oral health on a long term. "Dental-Aid International" has introduced dental health education in schools and has invested time and money in such prophylaxis programs. A coherent and credible prophylaxis program will be the only way to lastingly improve the situation created by teeth and mouth diseases in Africa.

Chikombedzi Mission Hospital is located in the south-east region (Chiredzi South) of Zimbabwe and belongs to the province of Masvingo. It is 96 km east of Rutenga, it is 128 km south of Chiredzi and 244 km from Masvingo. The population area served by this hospital is 30Õ000 for Chikombedzi, plus rural areas for a total of 100Õ000.

Chikombedzi Mission Hospital is owned and operated by the Free Methodist Church of Zimbabwe. The responsible authority is the board of directors appointed by the said church (Actual president Mr N. Zanamwe). The Medical Superintendant is the person in charge of the whole hospital, he is a licensed medical doctor and lives at the hospital complex (actual MSI is Dr Sibanda). The Dental Department is an integral part of the 160 bed hospital and has been fully equipped by the Swiss Foundation called ÒSecours Dentaire InternationalÓ (SDI) since November 1993 (also called Dental-Aid International). The clinic includes a fixed dental unit plus a mobile dental unit (MDU), which is used for the outreach work in the Chiredzi South area. Most of the materials of the dental clinic have been financed through the regional Swiss Rotary Clubs and the Swiss Association of Albert Schweitzer.

 

 

 

 

 

At the Dental Department, the working staff is composed of:

 

A dental therapist with Zimbabwean diploma:               Mr Manuel Chivavo (Upper-L)

An exodontist (aid-nurse trained by SDI):                     Mr Naison Lukas Chauke (Lower-L)

An exodontist (aid-nurse trained by SDI):                     Mr Clemens Sibanda (Lower-R)

An exodontist (aid-nurse trained by SDI):                     Mr Nelson Gonese (Upper-R)

Chikombedzi Mission Hospital is surrounded by 14 bush clinics (called RHC for Òrural health centreÓ) which have been constructed by the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health. These clinics are located 25 to 100 km from the operation base which sits in Chikombedzi.

 

Each of the rural health centres (RHC's) are in the hands of a state certified nurse and at least one aid-nurse. Materials at their disposal in the bush clinics are essentially materials for emergency treatment (dressings, antibiotics É ). The major part of their work concerns the huge child welfare program and the local births. Two of the 14 RHCÕs have a set of instruments for dental emergency treatments such as extractions and treatment of abscesses. The set is used by the state certified nurse in charge who has gone through an exodontist course of 3 months duration in Masvingo to become certified for applying such procedures.

 

After the dental clinic of Chikombedzi, the nearest dental clinic is to be found at Chiredzi Government Hospital (180 km) and the nearest maxillo-facial surgeon works at Bulawayo Government Hospital.

FIRST STEP: First inquiring

 

 

Before you start anything in any given country you must first inform yourself on the organization and local rules of the health system. In our case Zimbabwe, we did not inquire enough at the beginning and with passing time, we realized Zimbabwe had a very strict and complex health system. You should make a rough check of all such details to avoid future obstacles with government authorities.

 

The whole health system in Zimbabwe is supervised by the Ministry of Health which registers all health professionals and health activities. Once you are registered (and this is in itself a very long procedure), you must apply for a work permit. Without such a permit, all your activities will be considered as illegal.

 

The Acting Director of the Dental Health Services in Harare is responsible for all dental health activities and supervises the systems in the provinces. At the province level sits a Provincial Medical Director (PMD) who supervises his districts. On top of each district sits a District Medical Officer (DMO) who supervises all Medical Superintendants of the hospitals of the district. This last Officer (DMO) is also responsible for the local dental services. Further more, if you intend to go into schools for dental health education, you will need approval from the District Health Education Officer.

 

 

There are other aspects to be considered before setting up such a programme including:

 

á       How many schools are to be visited and how far are they ? Problem of transportation, costs ?

á       Is there already a similar program running somewhere nearby the place youÕve chosen ? And if yes, how does it work ? What is the attendance?

á       What is the capacity of payment ? Treatments for free ?  Do not forget costs of salaries, materials and maintenance ... must be covered

á       In what conditions are the structures at disposal in the RHC's and are they O.K. to be used for installation of mobile dental unit (MDU). Is accommodation possible ? How are the roads and how is the accessibility during the rainy season?

á       Did you want to introduce an outreach program or did the local population ask for such a program ?  Give preference to the second case.

á       How can the instructed population follow your education, accessibility of tooth brush and paste, costs ...?

 

 

Once you have thought over the above mentioned points, you  must consider the question: ÒAre the factors inquired in your first evaluation more or less favourable to introduction of a dental prophylaxis program ? If the answer is yes, you may now begin with the local inquiries.

 

First you will get in touch with the Medical Superintendant of the hospital where the base of your activities sits. Together with the management of the hospital, you will localize the different rural health centres surrounding the area. In the case of Chikombedzi, the situation of the different rural health centres is as follows:

SECOND STEP: Establishment of a provisional ORW program

 

Then, you will need to establish an outreach work program for the next 12 month period. Take into consideration the rainy season (roads passable) and the school holidays. During one ORW week, we usually drive to our next destination on Monday morning. Once arrived on the spot, the mobile dental unit (MDU) is equipped in the dental room of the RHC and then the dental staff meets the directors of the surrounding schools to organize the oral health instruction lessons. On Monday afternoon, the local children can return home with dental care information and inform their families of our stay at the RHC. Treatments can be delivered from Tuesday to Friday midday and on Friday afternoon, the MDU is packed and brought back to the base. For the year program, our first plan looked as follows:

This program has been established on 12th of April 1996 in arrangement  with the actual dental staff and the hospital management. This program has to be consulted and supported by the hospital management and the hospital administration. The dental staff members will plan their holidays during the periods of school holidays to provide the good running of outreach work.

 

The running of the program will be controlled and extended during the visits of  SDI representatives.

 

Should the weather be inclement and/or roads impassable, the schedule will be adjusted to make the visit one week later. It maybe necessary to wait until road conditions improve (insert your new schedule on the regular schedule) In all cases the visits must be made up!

THIRD STEP: Contact with the local authorities

 

 

Before starting out, the District Medical Officer must be informed of your activities and must give you his approval for the program.

 

For the oral health education in the schools, you will meet the District Health Education Officer, who will need to give you his approval too and at the same time, he will be so enthused with your program and you might have the opportunity to receive all the addresses of the different schools in the district.

FORTH STEP: Contact with the RHCÕs and schools

 

 

At this point, you know if an outreach program can be set up and is (or not) approved by the local authorities. Further more, you will know exactly which of the surrounding clinics could benefit from such a program. The next step will be to make a visit to each of your listed RHCÕs and inquire about the necessity of prophylaxis lessons at schools (inquiring has to be done by the directors of the schools), about the necessity of dental treatments and at the same time, you will find out if the motivation and the cooperation of those responsible for the RHCÕs are sufficient support your program. For the first visit, the following check-list has been established:

 

 

 

 

 

 

                       

                                    Questions To Ask During Your First Visit Into An ORW Area

 

                                                1. Introduce yourself and your activities, introduce the hospital and the dental department

                                                2. Ask for a meeting of about 30 minutes duration

                                                3. Introduce the Chikombedzi Mission Hospital Dental Department ORW program

                                                4. Explanation about your system of   

                                                            -treatment and referring

                                                            -prophylactic lessons at schools and screenings

                                                            -information for pregnant women

                                                5. Inform about your working hours: 8 am to 6 pm

                                                6.Give the program schedule of the week concerning the MDU and the school lessons

                                                7. Inform about the fee system and the importance of this financial support (trips and materials)

                                                8. Following up after your departure, give document ÒIndications for the responsible of the RHCÓ

                                                9. Give posters and ask for diffusion of the information, when are we coming É

                                                10. What kind of medicines are available at the RHC?

                                                11. Ask practical questions:     

                                                            -accommodation, dental room, showers, toilets, ...?

                                                            -rooms have to be locked, possibilities ?

                                                            -water: Where is the borehole, river water, ...?

                                                            -electricity, solar, ...?

 

                                                                                                                                                                                    QV, SDI, 08.08.98

Chikombedzi Mission Hospital / Dental Department

 

Indications For The Responsible Of The Rural Health Centre

 

                                    A. Capacities of the dental team during outreach work with the mobile dental unit (MDU)

 

                                    a) Dental hygiene instruction to the patients                                    e) Extractions with local anesthesia

                                    b) Cleaning and scaling                                                                f) Little surgery like abscess drainage or suture points

                                    c) Deep scaling with local anesthesia                                             g) Prophylactic lessons at schools (grade 1 to 7)

                                    d) Temporary and definitive fillings with local anesthesia                   h) Screening of the children in all classes

 

                                    B. Capacities of the Dental Department at Chikombedzi

 

                                    a) All the treatments given by the MDU                                           d) Composites (esthetical fillings)

                                    b) Definitive root treatments for single root teeth                              e) Oral surgery (jaw fracture, tooth luxation, abscesses)

                                    c) Dental X-Rays

 

                                    C. Kind of problems which can appear after a treatment at the MDU

 

                                    EXTRACTING a tooth is like a small operation. There will be bleeding and later on some pain and swelling. This is normal and should

                                    be expected after an extraction. Inform the person about that fact. After extraction(s), two main problems can appear:

 

                                    One day after the operation, the socket still bleeds. Explain to the patient that he should not spit nor rinse his mouth. When he rests,

                                    he should keep his head up. He should not drink hot liquids like tea or coffee because they encourage bleeding. The patient has then

                                    first to bite firmly on cotton gauze for an hour, and again later if blood still comes out of the socket. Eventually, the nurse can do a

                                    suture point if that is possible. If the bleeding persists, refer the patient quickly to Chikombedzi Mission Hospital Dental department

                                    with a compress on the socket. Notice that any bleeding can be stopped by direct compression.

 

                                    Rarely, the development of a bone infection occurs (infected socket. The signs are pus, pain and bad smell. Clean the socket

                                    with a Chlorhexidine syringe and give an antibiotic:

 

                                    First choice:                   amoxicilline 250mg caps   adults                            2cap x 3/day during 7 days

                                                                                                                        children                         25mg/kg x 3/day during 5 days

 

                                    Second choice:   co-trimoxazole 80+400mg             adults                            1cap x 2/day during 7 days

                                                                                                                        children                         8mg+40mg/kg/d. during 5 days

 

                                    or                                 co-trimoxazole 20+100mg adults                            4cap x 2/day during 7 days

                                                                                                                        children                         8+40mg/kg/day during 5 days

 

                                    Third choice:      erythromycine 250mg       adults                            2cap x 3/day during 7 days

                                                                                                                        children                         50mg/kg7day during 5 days

 

                                    It is important to persist on the fact that an antibiotic has to be taken during the prescribed duration, even if the pain and the

                                    infection have disappeared. If necessary, give also a painkiller.

 

                                    It is possible that a patient complains about sensitivity or pain after having received a FILLING. Usually, the pain occurs

                                    during a few days only, the sensitivity can persist longer. Give some painkillers if necessary, but if pain remains after 3 weeks,

                                    refer the patient to Chikombedzi Mission Hospital Dental Department.

 

                                    After a SCALING or a CLEANING, the patient may complain about sensitivities appearing essentially during cold drinking

                                    and bleedings of the gums appearing during brushing of the teeth. Scaling or cleaning of the teeth induces a microtraumatism

                                    on the gums. These lesions disappear after a few days if oral hygiene is correctly maintained. Tell to the patient to go on with

                                    tooth cleaning 3 times a day, even if it hurts a little.

 

                                    The patients treated in outreach work by the MDU for a ROOT TREATMENT usually have received a second and a third

                                    appointment for Chikombedzi Dental Clinic. Pain can occur during a few days after the first intervention given by the MDU.

                                    Give a painkiller if necessary. Remind the patient that the next appointments are 100% necessary for a definitive treatment

                                    and for the conservation of the treated tooth.

FIFTH STEP: Definitive program

 

After your first visit to possible sites, you will make a proposal to the hospital management for a definitive program. This program takes into consideration the collaboration of the responsible you have met at the bush clinics. In our case, the provisional program became definitive.

 

SIXTH STEP: Materials

 

Your project is now beginning to take shape and you have the psychological support you need. At this time you need to think about the materials you will use for the ORW. We have made a list of all the materials needed. The mobile dental unit we have is completely collapsible and can be loaded on a 4 wheel drive Toyota truck.
