Mobile Dental Clinics

Since the early 1990s, Istrodent has facilitated the donation of mobile dental clinics to provincial health departments, addressing the substantial demand for mobile healthcare services in South Africa.

Phelophepa Train of Hope

In 1994, we played a crucial role in the design and fitting of the Phelophepa train, sponsored by Transnet and subsidized by the Colgate–Palmolive Foundation. This initiative has provided invaluable healthcare services and education to rural communities in South Africa. The train has inspired additional healthcare trains, further extending our reach and impact.

Future Goals

Istrodent aims to expand its product offerings and enhance mobile healthcare services, continuing to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and the communities we serve.

Comprehensive Mobile Clinic Solutions for Africa

Our specialists are available to visit any site in Africa to assist in the design of your clinic and suggest the best equipment options. Our team also specializes in the manufacturing of a wide range of mobile clinics. We have designed and built medical, dental, and x-ray clinics into trailers, caravans, trucks, containers, and trains. Early in the 1990s, Colgate decided to donate mobile dental clinics to many of the provincial health departments, which started the ball rolling.
