Abstract

This was the first time that an oral health panel was included in the agenda of World Health Summit meetings. The present document is the report of the panel of “Neglected Epidemics: The Role of Oral Public Health to Advance Global Health” in the 7th Regional World Health Summit (WHS), 29-30 April, 2019 Kish Island, Iran. This seems to be an important crucial step for further improvement of oral health as a significant requirement for overall health promotion at the regional and global level. The panel members prepared and published a declaration which has been published in the WHS June 2020 newsletter. We write to you in order to convey the messages of the panel to a wider audience community. © 2022. The Author(s) JoGH 2022 ISGH
