1 in 2 people suffer from oral diseases. However, only some are covered by essential oral health services.

On #WorldOralHealthDay, we call on all countries to reprioritise oral health care as part of their #HealthForAll commitment.

[World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific @WHOWPRO]

Tomorrow is #WorldOralHealthDay! Everyone has the right to a healthy smile. 😁

Good #OralHealth is essential for:
🥗eating
😮‍💨breathing
🗣️speaking

It also gives us confidence in interacting with others.

Yet oral health care is often expensive, putting a large financial strain on families. That’s why it’s important to make it a key part of primary health care.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, affect more than 1 billion people around the world, especially in poor and marginalized communities.  

But NTDs are preventable, and in many cases, can be eliminated completely from countries.

This #WorldNTDDay, @WHO calls on countries to unite and act to eliminate NTDs. #HealthForAll
