The Fiji DMF travels to Fiji annually, bringing approximately 30 volunteers – doctors, dentists and other medical professionals – to host a week-long mobile clinic on the Island of Malolo. The foundation brings in all necessary equipment and medicine to deliver basic care to the adults and children of the local villages and surrounding islands.
In 2026 the clinic saw 540 patients and did/provided:
🦷 330 extractions
🦷 283 fillings
🦷 45 sets of “false” teeth (with 139 teeth!)
👓 350 pairs of glasses
🩺 219 glucose checks
🩺 540 medical and dental exams…and more!
The goals of the clinic are to reduce infection and pain through dental treatment, such as extractions and restorations, as well as to implement a preventative care program by providing education around nutrition and dental hygiene.
The clinic also provides diabetes screening, physical examinations, blood pressure screening, vision assessments and health education.
Volunteers stay on Namotu Island at a discounted rate and we do our best to ensure each one has an amazing time. The services provided are invaluable and we really see the impact of treatment and education here within our staff and community. Forever grateful to the group for supporting our locals.
