Abstract

At the 74th session of the World Health Assembly held from 24 May to 1 June 2021, the World Health Organisation (WHO) approved a landmark resolution on oral health. The resolution recognized the global burden of oral diseases and their associations with other conditions, urging Member States to address shared risk factors, enhance the professional capacity of oral health professionals to deliver consistent and quality care, and to include oral health in universal health coverage (UHC) benefit packages. It also requested WHO to develop a global strategy and action plan on oral health with 2030 targets, among other follow-up actions.
