Malawi should invest in a Dental School. There is already a medical school a Pharmacy School why not start a Dental School. The idea of Dentists not working in a Disctrict Hospital how do Doctors work in a District School. Doctors and Dentists working in District Hospital should get paid more as they are unlikely to attract Private work.

South Africa is even tapping Dental Therapists from Malawi. Namibia trains its Dental Therapists from Malawi.

Dental Therapists work better than dentists, go to private clinics like Shalom Dental Services you will be seen by Dental Therapists/Technician and even the owner is a Therapist. It is mockery to our Therapists and nation,we cannot have western standards,let us appreciate Dental Therapists. Dentists will just drain our tax

Even if there were more than that, I dont expect them to work in rural districts. Actually, they do very little as compared to dental technicians. Some highly qualified doctors just loaf around.

This man talks too much I don’t know if he knows what he is talking about about, train them if you will afford to pay them, since you are already failling to pay doctors and nurses.

Kampalume you want to train dentist but you can not employ graduate doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, physiotherapists, pharmacy technicians etc etc all of which are needed in our hospitals. Like someone said already, you are smoking too much weed man. Just shut the fuck up!!!!

Malawians r not treated by the so called 3 PhD doctors. We r well looked after by dental assistants trained by school for health sciences.

What a joke by the “honourable” minister. Am I dreaming that Malawi is failing to employ 51 qualified doctors a good number of nurses?
