Ein Erfahrungsbericht von Zahnarzt
Prof. Dr. Martin Jörgens
D
en 52 Millionen Einwohnern in Tansania
stehen nur 250 tansanische Zahnärzte zur
Verfügung. Mit der Folge, dass ganze Landstriche
komplett ohne jegliche Versorgung auskommen
müssen. Im Regelfall müssen die Betroffenen
lange Fußmärsche und strapazenreiche, lange
Reisen auf sich nehmen, um in einer fernen Stadt
einen Zahnarzt zu finden. Zudem sind die generellen Standards der Zahnarztpraxen leider noch
auf einem sehr schwach entwickelten Niveau,
so dass generell eine große Behandlungsangst
in der Bevölkerung vorherrscht. Und meist sind
andere Nöte in vielen Gebieten so groß, dass
Zahnbehandlungen aus ökonomischen Gründen
verschoben werden müssen.
Es dauerte ein knappes Jahr bis wir seitens unserer
Praxis Dentalspecialists das Projekt „Daktari for
Maasai“ im Jahr 2011 starten konnten. Ausgestattet mit perfektem mobilem Equipment, großem
Enthusiasmus und Abenteuergeist ging es zu den
Zielpunkten Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Conservation Area und Serengeti.
2011 startete ich mit meiner Partnerin von Dentalspecialists, Dr. Caroline Kentsch, zur ersten
Reise nach Tansania mit Condor von Frankfurt
aus. Zunächst fuhren wir nach Lake Manyara und
wurden dort zwei Tage aktiv. Nach harter Serengeti-Durchquerung gelangten wir schließlich
nach Ololosokwan.
Sowohl auf der Lodge Kleins Camp als auch in der
Klinik in Ololosokwan waren wir täglich im Einsatz. Unterstützung brauchten wir zunächst auch
in der Klinik, die bis dato weder über elektrischen
Strom noch fließendes Wasser verfügte. Ein mehr
oder weniger funktionierender Generator wurde
geliefert, und wir passten unsere Arbeitsweisen
der neuen Umgebung der Maasai an. Wir lernten
zügig mit der Hitze, Tsetsefliegen, Moskitos und
weiteren zahlreichen Insekten klarzukommen. Zu
dem Zeitpunkt verfügten wir noch über keine Behandlungsstühle und mussten die Patienten den
ganzen Tag über stehend behandeln. Die Patienten wurden dazu entweder auf einen Bürostuhl
gesetzt oder liegend auf einer Arztliege behandelt.
Beim nächsten Trip vergrößerte sich unser Team.
Dr. Axel Roschker aus Köln, spezialisierter Implantologe und Oralchirurg, unterstütze mich tatkräftig zusammen mit zwei Mitarbeiterinnen unserer
Klinik Dentalspecialists aus Düsseldorf.
Mit Unterstützung des Medikamentenhilfswerks
Medeor, statteten wir die Plätze, an denen wir
tätig wurden, mit medizinischem Equipment
aus. Seitdem befinden sich chirurgische Absaugpumpen sowie Instrumente in Lake Manyara und
in Ololosokwan. Dort konnten wir sogar zwei
weitere mobile Zahnbehandlungsstühle nebst
OP-Leuchten installieren. Mit dieser personellen
Besetzung konnten in 14 Tagen über 650 Maasai
zahnmedizinisch behandelt werden. Von der örtlichen Bevölkerung wurde das Projekt mehr und
mehr angenommen. Die Schulklassen der Primary
und Secondary Schools in Ololosokwan besuchen
nunmehr regelmäßig unsere hochspezialisierte
Klinik zur Zahnbehandlung.
Auch bei einem weiteren Projektaufenthalt im Januar 2013 konnten gut 650 Patienten behandelt
werden.
An dieser Stelle möchten wir Condor ConTribute
danken, dass Sie uns immer beim Transport der
medizinischen und zahnmedizinischen Hilfsgüter
helfen. Ohne diese Unterstützung wäre ein dentales Abenteuerprojekt dieser Art kaum realisierbar.
Und damit unterstützt Condor ConTribute auch
direkt die notleidende Bevölkerung in Tansania.
Der Dank der Menschen in Tansania, die von uns
kostenfrei behandelt werden, ist unbeschreiblich
und mit nichts im medizinischen Bereich zu vergleichen.
Herzlichen Dank auch von den Daktaris for Maasai.
Gute Reise – Na Safari Nzur

DAktARi FoR MAASAi
With a massive population of
52 million people it is difficult to
comprehend that Tanzania has a
mere 250 dentists. Residents of
these rural communities are required
to walk long distances over difficult
terrain to obtain any form of dental
treatment and the standards of
hygiene at those practices remain
underdeveloped.
Back in 2010, Prof. Dr Martin Jörgens
visited &Beyond Klein’s Camp and
spent quality time with &Beyond
ranger Seleu Kedoki learning not
only about the area’s fascinating
wildlife, but also about the local
Maasai culture. Seleu took Dr
Jörgens to the nearby Ololosokwan
community so that he could visit
the Ololosokwan Clinic, a ten-room
medical facility that was built by
Africa Foundation in consultation
with the community.
Dr Jörgens says, “A sign reading
‘Daktari’ that hung on the door
to treatment room 4 had such a
profound effect on me that right
then and there I promised the
resident physician, Dr Obed, to set
up a dental care station there.”
Dr Jörgens explains that everywhere
he went while he was on safari, he
was struck by the tremendous lack
of any kind of dental care and so his
“Daktari for Maasai” project was born
(“daktari” being the Swahili word for
“doctor”) in partnership with Africa
Foundation and &Beyond.
This much-needed (free) mobile
dental clinic is fully aligned with
&Beyond’s 3C’s, which are our core
company values of Care of the Land,

Care of the Wildlife and Care of the
People. With so many of the staff
at our East African lodges hailing
from local Maasai communities, this
project not only supports the local
communities, but also our staff and
their families too. Being a mobile
clinic, it also eliminates the need
for people to walk long, arduous
distances to seek medical attention.
Dr Jörgens and his team conducted
an initial trial run of their mobile
dental clinic at &Beyond Lake
Manyara Tree Lodge, &Beyond Klein’s
Camp and the Ololosokwan Clinic.
This experiment proved valuable as
the travelling dentists had to quickly
learn how to make do without such
essentials as electricity and running
water, not to mention the heat,
mosquitoes, tsetse flies and lack of
dental chairs. This fully prepared
them for their next mission.
When Daktari for Maasai returned for
a second time, this time they were
able to equip the Ololosokwan and
Mayoka Clinics with surgical suction
pumps and dental instruments, care
of German medical aid organisation
medeor. As the daktari treated
our lodge staff and their families,
of course word travelled quickly
through ‘bush telegraph’ fuelling
great curiosity among nearby
residents. In just 14 days, Dr Jörgens
and his team were able to treat more
than650Maasai,includingchildren
from local schools.
Daktari for Maasai continues to work
closely with Africa Foundation in
order to provide these much-needed
dental missions bringing relief
once, often twice a year, to patients
complaining of ailments ranging
from cavities and wide gaps, to root
canals and severe cases of unsightly
fluorosis. On his most recent visit,
Dr Jörgens brought a plastic surgeon
who was able to conduct a number
of successful corrective surgeries.
Dr Jörgens says, “The thanks we
got from the people of Tanzania
receiving free treatment was
indescribable and cannot be
compared with any other experience
in medicine.”
On behalf of Africa Foundation and
&Beyond, we would like to express
our heartfelt thanks to
Dr Jörgens and his incredible
team of professionals (our German
&Beyonders!) for helping us to care
for the people of Tanzania. This is a
fantastic project that we are so very
proud to be associated with. Asante
sana to our daktari.

Following two years of continued consultation and
careful planning with Botswana’s Sexaxa community,
Africa Foundation has committed to the construction
of a primary school that will consist of a two-classroom
block, small ablution and kitchen facility.
Africa Foundation CEO, Francois Peenz, recently signed
the memorandum of understanding with the Maun
North West District Council to solidify building plans
and the official turning-of-soil event was attended by
Botswana government officials, Africa Foundation and
&Beyond.
The children of Sexaxa currently walk up to 10 km every
day to attend schools in the neighbouring Matlapana
community. This of course exposes the young learners to many unwanted risks, resulting in a high dropout rate. By
providing Sexaxa with its own school, Africa Foundation is helping build brighter futures for these children.
Over time, more phases will be added to the project to incorporate the construction of additional classrooms. Well
done to Africa Foundation and the &Beyond Maun Office for all of your hard work in getting this fantastic project off
the ground. Watch this space for updates on the construction progress of Sexaxa Primary School.

Daktari for Maasai – Mobile
Dental Care in the Serengeti
Author_ Prof. Martin Jörgens, Germany
_Even as early as the 1950s, the Serengeti had
already gained worldwide attention through the
numerous documentary films produced by Professor
Bernhard Grzimek. The images from Serengeti darf
nicht sterben (Don’t let the Serengeti die) were so
powerful that he was awarded the Oscar for Best
Documentary Film in 1960. Grzimek’s film reporting
and personal commitment eventually led to greater
sensitivity in the handling of Tanzania’s unique natural resources as well as the expansion and protection of Tanzania’s most important national park: the
Serengeti.
Many naturalists consider it the most important
national park in the world, given how the migration
of wildlife depends on it to ensure their survival. It is
the largest active mammalian eco-system, providing

living space for a total of up to six million animals.
During their long migration, millions of animals continuously traverse the full breadth of the Serengeti
in search of food, and in the process cross the Mara
River in order to reach the Maasai Mara in neighbouring Kenia.
_Genesis of the project
A safari I took in connection with an expedition
to Kilimanjaro in 2010 brought me to the heart of
the Serengeti and from there northward to a small
Maasai village named Ololosokwan on the border
with Kenia. The very proud yet quite welcoming
Maasai received me warmly. My guide, Seleu Kedoki,
a local ranger with andBeyond who was well acquainted with the region, took me to the typical gath-
special _ aid project
ering places for elephants, lions and leopards and also
brought me to his village, where he proudly showed
off a school and a small clinic. The clinic was a donation from andBeyond and Africafoundation and consisted of a well-built concrete building with seven
rooms, two of which were furnished with equipment.
A sign reading ‘Daktari’ that hung on the door to treatment room 4 had such a profound effect on me that
right then and there I promised the resident physician,
Dr Obed, to set up a dental care station there.
I
veloped so that in general many people are afraid of
being treated. And often other needs in many areas
are so great that dental care has to be put aside simply for economic reasons.
Conditions were perfect and I knew right from
that first moment that we had found the location
we’d been looking for so long, where we could establish a dental care project in Africa. After spending
years working for Land Rover as a mobile dentist at
off-road events like Camel Trophy, the Land Rover G4
Challenge and Land Rover Experience, I had long been
interested in establishing a permanent site where
we could reach out to provide medical services using
off-road vehicles. Everywhere I went during my
safari I was struck by the great lack of any kind of
dental care.
Tanzania has a population of 52 million residents
… but only 250 dentists. As a result, there are vast
regions that must get by without any kind of dental
care services. In general, patients have to walk great
distances and undertake arduous journeys in order to
get to a city for dental treatment. Moreover, the standards at most dental practices are still very underde-

_The project gets under way
It took nearly a year before our practice, DentalSpecialists, was able to launch the ‘Daktari for Maasai’
project. ‘Daktari for Maasai’ is Swahili and means
‘doctors for Maasai’. Furnished with the best in mobile
equipment and full of enthusiasm and a spirit of
adventure, we travelled to our objectives at Lake
Manyara, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the
Serengeti. We were able to win over andBeyond as
our primary sponsor. This South African group operates lodges in the regions where Daktari works on
behalf of the Maasai and provides assistance to the
project on a daily basis. On the one hand, this affords
dental and medical aid to even the most remote parts
of Tanzania. Depending on the region, up to 90% of
lodge staff are themselves Maasai in origin. Their families and other residents from surrounding villages
gratefully draw on the dental and medical aid we offer. To do so, they will often walk 200 kilometres –
while Maasai from the neighbouring Massai Mara will
cross the border with Kenia in order to receive dental
treatment from us. At the same time, for a project like
‘Daktari for Maasai’ to function, it is vital that it has
reliable local partners like andBeyond to draw on.
Through this collaborative effort, the project receives
logistical and communications support at every level,
affording it the consistency, security and predictability that the local &Beyond staff provide on the ground.
This also results in a high degree of confidence among
all those involved. The philosophy at andBeyond
always places the preservation and development of
nature and wildlife in the centre – along with providing practical support and development for the people
in the regions where andBeyond operates. This can
come about by building schools and clinics, or it may
well take the form of appointing doctors to the clinics in order to ensure primary health care services. This
is also what we provide through our collaboration
with ‘Daktari for Maasai’, as we are in a position to
offer highly specialised treatments that normally
would be unavailable.
At the time I headed out with my colleague at
DentalSpecialists, Dr Caroline Kentsch, on our first
pre-scouting trip to Tanzania, flying with CONDOR
special _ aid project
from Frankfurt. On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, we
acquired a long-chassis Toyota Land Cruiser 4X4
equipped for safari. It was the perfect vehicle, with
excellent off-road capabilities and great load-hauling capacity. We first drove to Arusha to get additional medicines and instruments, since fifteen transport crates from Germany weren’t enough for it all.
In Arusha we obtained a great many medicines and
other instruments from medeor that medeor Tanzania had ordered for us. We then continued on to Lake
Manyara, where we worked for the next two days, first
treating the lodge staff and their families. After that,
curiosity drew in a large number of other villagers.
Following an arduous Serengeti crossing, we arrived
at Ololosokwan, where we worked every day at both
the Kleins Camp Lodge and at the Ololosokwan clinic.
We initially needed help at the clinic, which still lacks
both electricity and running water. A more or less
functioning generator was provided and we adjusted
our operations to fit our new surroundings among
the Maasai. We quickly learned to deal with the heat,
tsetse flies, mosquitoes, flies and numerous other insects. A smut candle specially designed to repel insects performed well, but caused masks and clothing
to turn black. At the time there were still no dental
chairs, so we had to treat patients while standing up
all day. The patients themselves were treated either
I
seated on an office chair or lying on a doctor’s couch.
We gained valuable experience during this pre-scouting trip in the Serengeti that helped us prepare for our
next visit.
Since we did not take any support staff with us the
first time, we planned differently for our second trip.
My close friend Dr Axel Roschker from Cologne, who
specialises in implantology and oral surgery, went
along to provide active support, as did two members
of the staff at our clinic, DentalSpecialists. Sandra
Ahsan worked independently with us as a dental hygienist and Miriam Schorn transformed herself into a
veritable tooth fairy in the jungle environment at Lake
Manyara, assisting Dr Roschker with his work.
Using additional materials obtained from medeor,
we were able to equip additional sites. Now there are
surgical suction pumps and instruments in Lake Manyara and in Ololosokwan. With a team consisting of in
effect three persons providing treatment, we were able
to handle over 650 Maasai in 14 days. Bit by bit, the project gained acceptance among the local population.
Classes from the primary and secondary schools in
Ololosokwan now regularly visit our highly specialised
clinic. For the most part, these children arrive together
as a class to receive treatment at the clinic.

_Keeping the project going
During another project-related trip in January
2013, led by Dr Caroline Kentsch and Dr Axel Roschker,
about 650 patients received treatment. Once again,
two assistants accompanied three doctors on the
trip. It is a welcome development that, owing to the
technically advanced equipment available, we were
able to provide treatments for pain that did not necessarily involve tooth extraction. Numerous glued
synthetic bridges were produced to close gaps between front teeth. A great many cavities were filled in
front teeth as part of treatment for tooth decay. And
serious cases of fluorosis were treated in order to provide for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Fluorosis is a wide-spread problem among the
Tanzanian population. In the north, in the greater
Arusha metropolitan area, up to 90 percent of inhabitants suffer from serious cases of fluorosis. We also
have been able to prevent tooth loss through root
canal treatments. And we are able to preserve posterior teeth by putting in fillings. Using ultrasound
equipment and mobile lasers, we are able to carry out
comprehensive periodontal treatments. Korean-made
digital X-ray machines by Dexcowin allow us to produce razor-sharp images in just seconds on a laptop
in any kind of situation. These devices are absolutely
vital in performing surgical procedures and root canal
filling therapies.
In September 2013 the project achieved another
milestone in its development when the University of
Sevilla asked us to use the project as part of its training programme for oral surgeons. In September we
travelled together with Dr Axel Roschker and two
Spanish oral surgeons, Dr Roberto Garrido and Dr
Francisco Azcarate, to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro
and Serengeti/Ololosokwan. Joining us from England
was Dr Andrea Chan, who previously served for six
years as a dentist with the British Navy. Though she
was only able to be with us for just one week, her visit
came off smoothly owing to the availability of daily
flights between Arusha and Ololosokwan by small
plane. Our multi-national team operated non-stop
in every part of the Tanzanian mainland previously
served. The international nature of the group spurred
the project on immensely. The interactions of the
individual specialists, despite never having worked
together before, came off like a charm. This accomplished team of oral surgeons was even able to han-

dle more involved surgical procedures. And one thing
quickly became clear: it was substantially more efficient to offer treatment as part of a larger team, since
it meant that many activities could be shifted around
so that highly specialised professionals were also
available to serve as assistants. In February 2014 our
path once again took us back to Zanzibar, where we
had initiated a pilot project in February of the previous year. This time my other colleague at DentalSpecialists, Professor Michael Wainwright, went with us
as well. Local conditions and climate on Zanzibar,
however, pose greater difficulties in providing dental
care than on the mainland. Daytime temperatures
can easily climb above 33C and the high humidity
does its part to make any kind of physical activity
I
difficult. We adjusted our treatment times and work
habits to better suit this new environment. Because
our facilities and equipment were located on a small
offshore island, our patients reached us by boat.
Life on the island made us feel a little like Robinson
Crusoe. But the treatment we provided was affected
by our underlying circumstances in other ways as
well. While surgical procedures predominated on the
Tanzanian mainland, on Zanzibar we treated a disproportionate number of serious cases of periodontitis.
This is due, on the one hand, to a genetic predisposition to these types of diseases, but also to differences
in diet. People on Zanzibar consume more fish and
vegetables and sweets are harder to come by than on
the mainland. Fluorosis is practically unheard of here

too. After extensive preparations while still in Germany, we had significantly expanded the equipment
available to us. Along with our tried-and-tested surgical suction pump, medeor Tanzania made available
to us a new Chinese treatment unit. It turned out to
be a real adventure getting this equipment, however,
given the great number of administrative hurdles
and impediments we had to overcome before the unit
was finally delivered.
DHL sent us daily assurances that the units would
be arriving on schedule. But each and every time the
African authorities put up another unexpected hurdle.

One time the shipping documents were arbitrarily altered by a customs official; another time the
equipment was removed from the flight, ostensibly
because the plane was too heavy for the flight from
Dar-es-Salaam to Zanzibar. Thank God we had another treatment unit to use in handling our daily flow
of patients. It was only with help from the folks at
medeor Tanzania and andBeyond that we were able
to find a solution to our administrative nightmare.
When the Chinese unit finally reached us, we were
surprised at how compact and efficient it was. A highly
efficient, integrated compressor makes the unit ready
to use in just five seconds and it can be used for every
kind of procedure, from putting in synthetic fillings
to performing complex surgical operations. It makes
for a very practical treatment tool that can even be
checked in at the airport along with standard 23 kg
luggage.
The unit constitutes the basis for all future mobile
treatments undertaken by Daktaris for Maasai. And
we would like to take a moment here to extend thanks
to our third primary partner, Condor Contribute, for
their help in transporting medical and dental aid supplies. Without their support a dental project as adventurous as this would scarcely have been possible.
The thanks we got from the people of Tanzania receiving free treatment was indescribable and cannot
be compared with any other experience in medicine.
Sincerest thanks from the Daktaris for Maasai …
