Ministry of Health to Establish Advisory Committee for Oral Health

The Ministry of Health is promoting the establishment of a National Advisory Committee for Oral Health, with the participation of all stakeholders. The Committee's objective will be to develop a National Strategy and Action Plan for Oral Health, based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization. This initiative is part of the Ministry's broader strategy to promote health, prevent disease, and reduce inequalities in access to quality health services. The Ministry of Health also recognizes the importance of collaboration with organizations such as the Pan-Cypriot Dental Association for the dental care of students. Promoting oral health is considered an integral part of general health and well-being.
