Portuguese APMDH and SPOP Congress

May 25, 2010

Last May was fruitful in Congresses and Conferences, in Porto. It is with happiness that I am seeing oral health issues growing up at the national agenda. Oral healthcare Scientific Societies and/or Associations have been expanding in Portugal, giving us great contributions in specific areas.

Hereby, I would like to detach the 2nd Congress of Hospital Dentistry, organised by the Portuguese Hospital Dental Medicine and the 1st Iberian Paediatric Dentistry Meeting, co-organised by the Portuguese Society of Paediatric Dentistry and by the Spanish Society of Paediatric Dentistry, that was distinguished with the presence of the Secretary of Health, Dr. Manuel Pizarro.
