Distinguished participants,
Ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of Minister of Public Health, Thailand, I would like to express my warmest welcome to all participants to the 5th Asian Conference on Oral Health Promotion for School Children.
Oral health in schoolchildren is one of the major health problems, not only just in Asian countries but all over the world. Several efforts from the government have been made to support the School Oral Health Program but the outcome is not as expected. Oral health problem in schoolchildren is still high. Fortunately, under the right concept from the Asian Conference on Oral Health Promotion for School Children, implementation in all level were set up including changes personal behavior, school health policy making, empower the communities that would bring all participation to solve the problem and the success could be clearly seen.
