Volunteer Opportunity: Dentists Needed at The Dental Clinic in Lesvos

Located within the Mavrovouni Refugee Camp on the Greek island of Lesvos, our Dental Clinic provides essential dental care to refugees and asylum seekers. Lesvos serves as a primary entry point for refugees arriving in Europe, and access to dental care on the island is extremely limited.

Our clinic operates from a two-room isobox in the camp’s medical area and is staffed by licensed international volunteer dentists, nurses, and interpreters. We provide free dental care from Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 15:00(with working hours from 08:30 to 16:00). This is the only available dental care for refugees on the island.

Services include emergency dental treatments, medication prescriptions, oral hygiene education, and hygiene promotion sessions in collaboration with other humanitarian organizations. Our goal is to improve the oral health of displaced individuals while also reducing the burden on the local healthcare system.

Currently, we are facing a critical shortage of volunteer dentists, which directly impacts our ability to provide care. Volunteers are essential to keeping our clinic operational. We offer accommodation during your time of service.

If you are a licensed dentist willing to contribute your skills, we encourage you to join us. Your support is crucial in ensuring that refugees receive the care they urgently need.
