CDMA recently welcomed a delegation from the Kilifi Province in Kenya to inspect the College's facilities and receive advice on logistical planning for a new hospital and dental clinic initiative underway in the province. The Honorable Amason Jeffah Kingi, the provincial governor, was accompanied by Dr. Lameck Nyakweba and Dr. Joe Maniga, as well as Euphrase Nyokwoyo, RN.

 

Dr. Nyakweba, a 2004 graduate of the College of Pharmacy-Glendale, is now the CEO of Global Diagnostics, LLC, which works with U.S. companies to provide medical and dental equipment to Kenyan medical schools, dental schools, and clinics.

 

According to Governor Kingi, his province has a population of 40,000,000 but only two dentists, making the new Kilifi educational and clinical facilities critical to improving his citizens' health. Brad Smith, D.D.S., Dean, CDMA, has pledged to support Governor Kingi's new initiative with unused dental equipment and supplies, as well as sharing important lessons learned from building Midwestern University's own dental education programs.
