Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health) / The oral health programme in Lesotho aims to offer curative, preventive, promotive and
rehabilitative oral health services. However, observations as well as annual reports suggest that
oral health service utilization is poor, as most patients only attend dental clinics with advanced
stages of decayed teeth which can only be extracted. The reasons for this very undesirable late
utilization of oral health services have not been systematically explored and understood in
Lesotho. This makes it difficult for health planners to find solutions for improving access,
utilizations and responsiveness of oral health services.
