World Oral Health Day 2024
Message from WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti
Oral health remains a neglected part of person-centred health care and wellbeing.
Oral diseases, such as dental caries, gum diseases, and tooth loss, remain prevalent in the WHO African Region, affecting about 44% of the population. Despite the innovative measures of our regional team, our region has had the largest increase in cases of major oral disease in the past 30 years of WHO’s six regions.
