Egypt trains 13,555 dental interns to enhance oral healthcare
In line with Egypt’s national strategy to advance dental healthcare and promote public health, the Ministry of Health and Population has announced the successful training of 13,555 dental interns across all governorates in 2024.
The initiative covered multiple key disciplines, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, conservative dentistry, endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics, and dental technology, as reported by the Middle East News Agency (MENA), a partner of TV BRICS.
According to Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Population, the training programme was launched under the Ministry of Health and Population to enhance dental interns’ scientific and clinical expertise.
It was also launched to equip the interns with practical skills to navigate the demands of the healthcare sector through a structured and comprehensive programme.
The ministry confirmed that the trained interns, graduates of public and private universities, were deployed across hospitals and health units affiliated with regional health directorates.
In addition to clinical placements, the programme included scientific seminars, the development of a detailed training manual, and mechanisms to ensure the fair distribution of interns across the country.
This initiative supports the readiness of young dentists to enter the workforce and respond effectively to medical challenges.
MENA further reported that no fewer than 9,950 dentists were officially assigned to duty during the same year.
Alongside training and deployment, the ministry extended community outreach services to more than two million citizens to promote oral hygiene and prevent infections, tooth decay, and gum disease.
