Our health unit, the posto sanitário, welcomed another new arrival in February 2016: a dentist’s chair! And not any old dentist’s chair, but a very special one – it was the very first in Cape Verde! This collector’s item belonged to the family of Aníbal Lopes in São Vicente, and came to Tarrafal at the initiative of dentist Dra. Maria da Luz Salomão St. Aubyn. This ‘museum piece’ is on loan here for an indefinite period, the idea being to restore it to life here! No electronic frills, but solid mechanical functionality and not prone to technical problems, making it a perfect fit for Tarrafal.
