At the UN High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health in New York, the World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) called on governments to urgently invest in the health workforce to meet global NCD and mental health targets.
WHPA emphasized that without investment in education, recruitment, retention, and better working conditions for health professionals, the commitments in the Political Declaration cannot be achieved.
As a founding member of WHPA, FDI reinforces this call, underscoring the essential role of dentists and dental teams in NCD prevention and care through interprofessional collaboration and integrated primary healthcare.
