The African Dentist Extends Mission with Free Dental Outreach in Partnership with Kokun Foundation
On the 15th of May, The African Dentist joined forces with The Kokun Foundation to deliver crucial dental services to the Ojodu Berger local community. The partnership provided a list of free services like tooth scaling, polishing, and consultations to residents.
With this outreach, Dr. Abraham Akinbami, also known as The African Dentist, has reinstated his commitment to making dental healthcare accessible to Nigerians, regardless of economic status. The dentist, who is also a health creator with about 17K followers on Instagram, has always spoken about his passion for improving oral health and hygiene in both online and offline communities.
“This partnership is primarily about ensuring that we extend care and enhance the quality of lives of the people in this community. Everyone deserves good quality dental care, and it makes me really proud to collaborate with Kokun Foundation to make this accessible,” he said.
“The positive response from the community highlights the importance of these outreach programs. We look forward to partnerships such as this that help us expand our reach to people who would otherwise not be able to afford it,” he also shared.
Founded by Olukokun Adepeju, the Kokun Foundation is a humanitarian organization that’s focused on providing basic necessities like food, shelter and healthcare to the underprivileged population.
Both organizations have shared that they are looking forward to continuing their partnership and expanding their outreach to even more communities in the near future, as they believe that even more people can benefit from such vital health services.
For the last five years, The African Dentist has been dedicated to revolutionizing the way that people think about their dental health as a way of achieving overall well-being. He strongly believes that when people understand the importance of oral health, they can lead healthier lives.
On World Oral Health Day in March, he, alongside creators like Real Warri Pikin and Aproko Doctor, collaborated with global toothpaste brand, Colgate, to spread awareness of good dental hygiene.
As The African Dentist continues to champion accessible dental care, people can expect even more impactful collaborations and projects in the future.
