Abstract:
Oral diseases have become a major global public health issue. The "Global strategy and action plan on oral health (2023-2030)" issued by the World Health Organization in 2023 marks a milestone in advancing global oral health and serves as a pivotal initiative for implementing global oral health resolutions and strategies. Centered on universal health coverage, the action plan outlines multiple strategies and concrete actions, including strengthening prevention, early intervention, and integrated management, for improving the oral health worldwide. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the strategies and measures outlined in the action plan, aiming to offer valuable insights for developing an oral health pathway in China that aligns with national circumstances and the broader trajectory of human societal development.
