WHO highlights importance of oral health

For the first time since 1981, oral health was on the agenda at the recent World Health Organization’s (WHO) Executive Board Meeting in Geneva.

The WHO’s Global Oral Health Programme prepared an extensive report on “Oral health: action plan for promotion and integrated disease prevention”.

The Executive Board has also made a number of major recommendations to the next World Health Assembly, due to be held in May 2007.
