In 2021, the WHO approved its first ever resolution on oral health. Since then, strategy and targets for 2030 were advanced. In response to this opportunity to highlight oral health across all aspects of health, ADEA and ADEE joined together to bring global education partners together to develop supporting initiatives. This session will share the goals, strategy, and progress in bringing global partners together to improve global oral health. Through session discussion, participants will be inspired to join initiatives that are actionable locally, nationally and internationally to support this work.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the scope of global projects developed for education associations’ and partners to facilitate knowledge and actions congruent with the WHO’s Oral Health Action Plan.
Explain the value of a global approach to improving and enhancing world oral health.
