The Pain Relief Dental Clinic at the small village of Hansali in the Punjab, India celebrated its fifteenth anniversary on 8 February 2014 and marked it on 15 March. Hardev Coonar, Emeritus Consultant Oral Surgeon, was instrumental in establishing the clinic as a Rotary Project on his retirement from the Eastman Dental Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital in 1999. The clinic is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mill Hill and hosted by the Rotary Club of Sirhind/Punjab. Dr Richard Dunstan from London attended the anniversary celebration in March, and is pictured here with the current team at Hansali.

In 15 years the four-chair clinic has provided free dental care to 129,000 patients in rural Punjab and volunteers from many parts of the world have travelled to the clinic to offer their services in the spirit of 'service above self'.
