“At FDI, we would not be able to accomplish our mission without your input and support. You are the organizations that enrich dialogue at international level and who share experience across the world within the context of FDI. In doing so, you add significantly to the global stock of accumulated knowledge on dental practice and oral health.
I would like to thank all our members for their valuable contribution to FDI’s work, especially the Taipei Dental Association. Long may it prosper!”
