Writer, public health specialist and pioneer in the field of mHealth
Innovation and global health initiatives call us to action to improve general health access, oral health access, gender equity and social justice. During this session, Dr. Patricia Mechael will help attendees learn why their work to advance these initiatives are ripe for input and how they might make a difference through their work. Whether looking at the landscape in low-income countries across the spectrum to high-income countries, our call is to make a difference.
The World Health Organization’s resolution on oral Health brings attention to a global need to improve access to oral health and broadly implement efficient, cost-effective solutions. As we celebrate the work of ADEA over the last century and look to a year of work in preparation for the 2024 ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference VII, we all can believe “I’m possible.”
Learning Objectives:
Describe the global need for oral health initiatives that can be models for improvement.
