En 2020, alors que la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19 est survenue, le Dr Westerduin s&rsquo;est connect\u00e9e aux appels Zoom depuis son domicile aux Pays-Bas pour aider \u00e0 former le Dr Camara, alors \u00e9tudiante en m\u00e9decine dentaire \u00e0 l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 Gamal Abdel Nasser de Conakry (UGANC) en Guin\u00e9e. Ces appels r\u00e9guliers sont devenus une passerelle, reliant la riche exp\u00e9rience de professionnel dentaire du Dr Westerduin aux aspirations croissantes du Dr Camara.<\/p>\n<p>Trois ans plus tard, ces liens virtuels ont laiss\u00e9 la place \u00e0 un contact tangible en Sierra Leone, o\u00f9 les deux femmes se sont port\u00e9es b\u00e9n\u00e9voles pour travailler ensemble dans la clinique dentaire du navire-h\u00f4pital. Travaillant main dans la main, elles ont incarn\u00e9 le passage du mentorat en ligne vers un partenariat physique, associant de mani\u00e8re transparente leurs comp\u00e9tences et leur expertise communes pour fournir des soins dentaires de qualit\u00e9 aux patients et aux membres de l&rsquo;\u00e9quipage.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 bord du <em>Global Mercy,<\/em> la collaboration entre les docteurs Westerduin et Camara s&rsquo;est \u00e9tendue au-del\u00e0 du mentorat. \u00ab\u00a0La pr\u00e9sence de Salematou est une v\u00e9ritable b\u00e9n\u00e9diction\u00a0\u00bb, d\u00e9clare le Dr Westerduin \u00e0 propos de leur aspiration commune, servir avec compassion et excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Pour le Dr Camara, son ancien mentor demeure r\u00e9solument son professeur : \u00ab\u00a0Elle dit que nous sommes coll\u00e8gues, mais pour moi, elle reste mon professeur.

Il \u00e9tait ancr\u00e9 pr\u00e8s de son domicile \u00e0 Rotterdam, aux Pays-Bas, et \u00e9tait ouvert au public pour des visites.

><p><strong>Une vision des soins dentaires \u00e9largie : Dr. Camara<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ayant grandi en Guin\u00e9e, le Dr Camara explique que la dentisterie est souvent rest\u00e9e dans l&rsquo;ombre au sein de sa communaut\u00e9 : \u00ab\u00a0Ce n&rsquo;\u00e9tait pas quelque chose de connu\u00a0\u00bb. Elle a donc vu des personnes souffrir en silence, sans savoir qu&rsquo;une seule dent n\u00e9glig\u00e9e pouvait se transformer en un v\u00e9ritable probl\u00e8me de sant\u00e9. \u00ab\u00a0Leur ignorance signifie rester chez eux sans consulter \u00e0 l&rsquo;h\u00f4pital et le probl\u00e8me s&rsquo;aggrave au fil des mois\u00a0\u00bb, explique-t-elle.<\/p>\n<p>Une partie du d\u00e9fi vient du nombre limit\u00e9 de dentistes dans le pays pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 l&rsquo;immense besoin. \u00ab\u00a0Les gens pensent qu&rsquo;une fois qu&rsquo;ils ont mal, il leur suffit d&rsquo;aller au march\u00e9 et de trouver quelqu&rsquo;un pour leur arracher la dent\u00a0\u00bb, souligne le Dr Camara.<\/p>\n<p>C&rsquo;est en s&rsquo;inspirant de ce constat qu&rsquo;elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de se lancer dans la dentisterie, anim\u00e9e par une mission simple mais puissante : \u00ab\u00a0Je veux faire partie des gens qui peuvent mettre un sourire sur le visage des gens\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>En 2018, lorsque l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 Gamal Abdel Nasser de Conakry (UGANC) et Mercy Ships ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 collaborer pour am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de l&rsquo;enseignement dentaire en Guin\u00e9e, le Dr Camara a rejoint le programme en tant qu&rsquo;\u00e9tudiante \u00e0 la poursuite de son r\u00eave. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce partenariat, des centaines de futurs dentistes comme le Dr Camara ont re\u00e7u une formation et une exp\u00e9rience clinique dans leur domaine, et le programme continue de s&rsquo;\u00e9tendre m\u00eame au-del\u00e0 des fronti\u00e8res de la Guin\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>En 2023, dans le cadre de son programme d&rsquo;Enseignement, de Formation et de Mobilisation, Mercy Ships a \u00e9largi son plan de parrainage de l&rsquo;enseignement dentaire en ajoutant un nouveau partenariat avec l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 de Sierra Leone. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce partenariat, cinq \u00e9tudiants en m\u00e9decine dentaire se sont rendus \u00e0 l&rsquo;UGANC pour commencer leurs \u00e9tudes. Apr\u00e8s avoir obtenu un doctorat en chirurgie dentaire, ces dentistes rentreront chez eux pour prodiguer des soins dentaires en Sierra Leone, un pays qui souffre actuellement d&rsquo;une grave p\u00e9nurie de personnel dentaire, avec seulement 0,18 dentiste pour 100 000 habitants, selon l&rsquo;Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9. \u00c0 titre de comparaison, la France compte environ 67 dentistes pour 100 000 habitants.<\/p>\n<p>Pour le Dr Camara, l&rsquo;obtention de son dipl\u00f4me signifiait le d\u00e9but d&rsquo;un acc\u00e8s plus simple aux soins dentaires destin\u00e9s \u00e0 ceux qui en ont le plus besoin. Elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d&rsquo;utiliser ses nouvelles comp\u00e9tences et son exp\u00e9rience clinique pour travailler comme dentiste b\u00e9n\u00e9vole chez Mercy Ships \u00e0 Freetown, en Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<p>Elle explique que ses aspirations se sont progressivement transform\u00e9es au cours de son s\u00e9jour \u00e0 bord du <em>Global Mercy<\/em>. Lorsque l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe dentaire \u00e0 bord a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 traiter les patients dans un cabinet dentaire mobile install\u00e9 dans un conteneur, les graines de l&rsquo;innovation ont germ\u00e9 dans son esprit et sa vision des soins s&rsquo;est \u00e9largie : \u00ab\u00a0Pourquoi ne pourrions-nous pas utiliser ce genre de cabinet mobile pour atteindre la population des r\u00e9gions recul\u00e9es de la Guin\u00e9e ?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;environnement de travail \u00e0 bord du navire-h\u00f4pital l&rsquo;a incit\u00e9e \u00e0 envisager en permanence des projets pour faciliter l&rsquo;acc\u00e8s et la fourniture de soins dentaires complets dans son pays d&rsquo;origine. \u00ab\u00a0Nous avons tant de choses \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer dans mon pays&#8230; Maintenant, ma vision est plus large.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vous souhaitez rejoindre une communaut\u00e9 internationale de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles qui d\u00e9dient leurs comp\u00e9tences \u00e0 la transformation de la vie des patients ?
