Raising Awareness for a Healthier Future
Baqai Dental College remains steadfast in its mission to reduce oral health disparities, particularly in rural and underprivileged communities. This initiative aimed to instill lifelong oral hygiene habits while emphasizing the link between good oral health and overall well-being.
