Case description

Oral diseases are frequently excluded from UHC agenda despite being the third most costly and most prevalent NCD worldwide. Oral health indicators have not experienced a significant improvement between 1990 and 2017 leading to 3.5 billion people suffering from oral diseases while facing severe shortages to access the care they need. This panel will analyse barriers and facilitators to expand coverage from a health policy perspective to achieve the goals laid out by the WHO resolution for oral health by the Director-General in 2021.
