The World Health Organisation's Global Strategy and Action Plan on Oral Health: A Collaborative Response From Oral Health Professionals' Education Associations

The World Health Organisation (WHO) resolution on Oral Health in 2021 quickly led to the development of a strategy for im-proving global oral health with specific targets and timelines set for 2030. As a result, oral health education associations in theUnited States and Europe took the lead to engage partner organisations and educational associations across the globe in definingcollaborative actions aligned with the many content and impact areas this will have on oral health professsionals' education. Theidentified areas of general educational consensus by the associations can then be translated into actions that are economical andeasily implemented in various regions based on resources available per region or country. Oral health education can thus supportand advance the WHO Action Plan broadly through these defined activities thereby contributing to increasing awareness of thevalue of oral health to the world's population.
