On 28 May 2024, Ireland is hosting an Oral Health Side Event at the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva, along with co-sponsoring countries of Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Canada, and Sri Lanka. This is the first time that Ireland will be hosting a Side Event on Oral Health.
The discussion will be focused on implementing the WHO Global Oral Health Action Plan, including evidence based methods of surveillance and evaluation aligned with the global targets and surveillance in the context of vulnerable groups to address inequalities.
In addition to the co-sponsoring countries there will be representatives from civil society participating at the event.
To highlight the importance of Oral Health on a global stage this is an event not to be missed.
