WHEN the Covid-19 outbreak happened, Q&M Dental Group's staff swapped their dental probes for nose swabs.
The group of 75 dentists and 45 nurses from Q&M, and about six other volunteer dentists swabbed more than 13,000 foreign workers in 160 dormitories over a period of 24 days. The dental group was acknowledged on Friday in the President's Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards Special Edition 2020 (PVPA Special Edition 2020) - it was among the five winners under the Organisations of Good Award Category. Other winners in the category include CapitaLand Limited, Food Bank Singapore, Hope Initiative Alliance and Supporting SG's Frontline.
