KOTA KINABALU, Sept 6 (Bernama) -- Three new mobile dental clinics will be handed over by the end of this year to benefit communities in Penampang, Kudat, and Keningau, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
He said the initiative shows the Ministry of Health's (KKM) commitment to improving access to dental healthcare for rural and interior communities in Sabah and strengthening modern dental facilities in urban areas.
He added that providing these mobile dental facilities would enable preventive services and basic treatments to reach communities facing distance and logistical constraints.
Dr Dzulkefly said this approach is vital to ensuring that oral health services are enjoyed fairly and equitably by all residents in the state.
“Holistic health undoubtedly begins with good oral health,” he said.
He added that KKM will continue to bring health services closer to the people so that everyone, whether in urban or rural areas, receives fair, equitable, and high-quality healthcare.
