School of Oral Health

Oral health problems are overshadowed by the burden of many other health problems. Therefore oral health has not received a due priorit in public health. As one of the consequences, training of health workers in this area  is grossly inadequate. As there are few oral health workers, problems related to oral health get less attention and people become less aware of the problem, thus creating a viscious cycle. With this view phect-NEPAL has stepped into the formal academic training program recognized by the government and affiliated to the Council for technical Education & Vocational Training (CTEVT) with the new training course of "Dental Hygienist" in the academic year 2000/01. The technical institute has been established as "Kathmandu Model Hospital - School of Oral Health". The organization also plans to conduct oral health and other health related formal training programs and establish the dental training school in Kirtipur. In the near future a 2-year course for Dental Lab. Technicians is planned to start. (read more on the course of a Dental Hygienist)

As the School of Oral Health is based on Kathmandu Model Hospital premises, it fulfills all the physical, technical and academic requirements to conduct the course of Dental Hygienist. The VSOG Dental Clinic is the principal premise for the course.

The VSOG Dental Clinic is well equipped with number of dental chair units, necessary equipments, instruments and dental materials. A separate oral hygiene section has been set up for the clinical demonstration to the students and practical demonstration lab is arranged with study models, charts, posters etc. for practical group discussion to the students. The infrastructure of KMH will be used for hospital related demonstrations like hospital wards, pathology, radiology, pharmacology and sterilization of instruments. The HISC's of CHDP activity areas and Community Dental Center in Kirtipur will be used for community health education, fieldwork and OJT:

Acupuncture services

Although acupuncture is not indigenous to Nepal, this therapeutic method of Traditional Chinese Medicine was introduced to Nepal more than 5 decades ago. phect-NEPAL believes in the healing potential of different systems and their harmonizing integration to alleviate human sufferings; an Acupuncture Unit was established within the Kathmandu Model Hospital during its early days. The Unit provides acupuncture and acupressure services through the OPD and in-house patients at the Model Hospital admitted for different problems. The Acupuncture Unit works in close cooperation with various departments of the hospital and maintains a two-way referral system.
