Oral Health Country/Area Profile Programme/CAPP

Bank of Ideas
      Several oral health promotion (education and intervention) programmes have been conducted and many are ongoing worldwide. In order to present a Bank of Ideas we have been collecting such programmes for the past 5-6 years and these appeared in this database under Oral Health Projects & Reports section. The Bank of Ideas hopefully would inspire health planners around the world to develop programmes that would suit their need.

The aim of these pages is to present different types of oral health programmes, which have actually been implemented and would be suitable for a particular country, area or region.
