The survey is an ongoing study being carried out in various parts of India by the Dental Council of India. The objective of the survey is to collect information about the oral health status and treatment needs of the people. A team of trained dentists and social scientists will visit selected villages. The team from yesterday began the survey in Canacona to cover areas of Cola, Canacona and Gaodongrem. Areas of Ambaulim and Morpila in Quepem taluka, Loutulim, Nuvem, Betalbatim, Rachol, Curtorim, Sao Jose de Areal, Mulem, Carmona and Navelim in Salcete taluka Dabolim Sancoale and Cansaulim in Mormugao taluka, Codlim Santona and Curpem in Sanguem taluka will also be covered under this programme.

The survey team will visit households in the area and inquire from people in various age groups about their oral health related practices and conduct oral health examinations. They will also collect samples of drinking water to estimate the level of fluoride. Fluoride plays a vital role in prevention of dental decay. The date obtained will be utilised to formulate an Oral Health Policy at national level and also for Goa. The data collected will form part of the global Oral Data Bank being maintained by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The people are requested to extend all cooperation to the visiting team to make the survey programme a success --------------------------------------- The Navhind Times 6/10/02 --------------------------------------- ======================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy ======================================= ======================================================================== To view GoaNet's archives http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-net ======================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't want so many e-mails?
