#17: Prioritising Oral Health in Public Health (ft. Ema Prohić) - Part 1

On this episode I interview Ema Prohić and we discuss the true cost of oral health. Drawing on her experience in different health systems, we discuss the financing of dental procedures, dentist fear and how to avoid the most common oral health pitfalls. We also discuss a public health project that I lead back in 2020 with the Ministry of Health Qatar and PHCC wherein she focussed on integrating oral health into a primary care program. This is Part 1 of a super conversation this season. And you won't want to miss it. Ema is a doctor of dental medicine from Croatia, currently undertaking her specialization in orthodontics and facial orthopedics in Barcelona, Spain. She  started her professional career as a dentist in the UK after completing her MSc in International Health Management  at Imperial College Business School and has continued working in the UK  in several dental practices as an NHS and private practitioner. Resources; 1.
