Global Child Dental Fund

The Global Child Dental Fund (GCDF) is a UK-based international charity dedicated to improving the oral health of the world's most disadvantaged children. Founded in 2006, the organization focuses on reducing dental caries and promoting oral health through leadership programs, clinical initiatives, and global advocacy. GCDF works extensively in low- and middle-income countries, partnering with dental schools, governments, and NGOs to implement sustainable dental care solutions. Their key initiatives include the Senior Dental Leaders program and various social responsibility programs aimed at empowering dental professionals to lead change in their communities. The organization is led by Professor Raman Bedi, the former Chief Dental Officer of England.
