Currently, according to the association, there are about 64 South Sudanese Dentists with about 46 of them said to be present in the country. However, they are concentrated in Juba.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gift Gibson Natana, a maxillofacial surgeon who spoke on Eye Radio\u2019s Sundown Show on Thursday \u2013 said the faculty will be initiated at the University of Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a plan now to open a dental school in one of the universities and possibly that will be at Juba University, and that plan is already in the pipeline and very soon, people will hear about the dental school that is opened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Natana said the dental school is for young people who may be interested in the profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our listeners, especially those young folks who are planning to study in the university in the coming years, if you are interested in dentistry, you will find a dental school right here in South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n
