Remote area medical
Stan Brock is a British expat living in Knoxville Tn. Seeing a great need for medical and dental care during his early days in south and Central America, he organized volunteers to go there to provide free treatment. He soon realized the need was equally great in poorer areas of the US. With his donated C47/DC3 to ferry equipment he has provided hundreds of free clinics in many parts of the US. To my surprise he has now discovered a similar need in the U.K. See article in Times of London Dec 23 2017. According to this article many areas have no dentists willing to take NHS patients and the number one reason for hospital admissions country wide for children 5 to 9 was dental infections.
