Very true. Thanks for the important point ed 50.
The recent volunteers may be the best group in the world and I am very thankful for the work that is being done but my primary question is; does the work take clients away from practitioners that have paid good money to attend school and come back here to invest in the country on a full time basis.And are available for follow up. Or is the work done coordinated with local dentists and doctors?
When volunteers came 25 years ago, there were often no local people doing the work and now there is.
Also, does your group differentiate between true need and people who just want free care? If I offer a service and a person can afford to may but chooses free care instead, what are the ethical considerations in that.
Please don't jump me for asking, I really am interested
