Our Story...

Turning a Caravan into a Fully Equipped Dental Clinic

Kochkok’s journey to becoming a mobile dental unit wasn’t easy. From winning a caravan at auction to repairing leaks and installing dental-grade equipment, every step required dedication and hard work. Soroush and his team renovated the entire interior, ensuring the equipment was securely installed and safe from weather damage.

Journey of Kochkok

First Exposure to First Working Day

The "Dental Unit" Idea

February 2019 - April 2019

A group of 90 dentists volunteered to help during the Norooz holiday. Soroush arranged a place for them to stay, but they didn't have portable dental units.

First Step

April 2019 - August 2019

Soroush came up with the idea of converting a caravan into a mobile dental unit. With the help of his friends, he searched for the right caravan and successfully won one in an auction.

Preperatation

September 2019 - July 2021

This was the period when the caravan was fully repaired. The interior of the vehicle was completely stripped out and fully renovated. This challenging step took 23 months to complete.

The beginning of the journey

March 29, 2024

Kochkok was ready to embark on its journey. Soroush and his friends made stops in multiple cities along the way to promote Kochkok. What was supposed to be a two-day journey (1800 km) ended up taking six days due to challenges in towing the caravan and a malfunction of the towing vehicle.
