Oral health remains a critically underemphasized component of healthcare in Kenya, which further underscores the significance of this position.
In the communities we support, many individuals have never undergone a thorough dental examination. The absence of such care isn’t due to a lack of concern but rather stems from persistent barriers preventing access to high-quality dental services.
We operate seven dental units integrated within our medical centers throughout Nairobi, with ongoing expansion plans. We seek Community Oral Health Officers (Cohos) who are not merely seeking employment but aspire to contribute meaningfully to advancing oral healthcare accessibility.
