Harnessing the power of collaboration, PT Klarens Indonesia together with Good Doctor have launched #AyoGargle campaign. This joint initiative seeks to enlighten Indonesians about the importance of regular gargling using Klarens Antibacterial Mouthwash Clean & Fresh. With studies revealing alarmingly low rates of oral hygiene maintenance and a notable increase in Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), this campaign serves as a beacon of awareness and proactive health management. Gargling emerges as a simple yet potent tool in mitigating ARI risks and maintaining oral health. Embracing the ethos of preventive care, Good Doctor and Klarens unite to celebrate World Oral Health Day 2024, emphasizing the holistic benefits of the designated mouthwash. With its multifaceted formula designed to combat various oral issues, it echoes the campaign's theme of nurturing a healthier mouth for a healthier body. As the #AyoGargle campaign gains momentum, let's unite behind the cause of proactive oral care, guided by expert insights. Together, let's pave the path towards healthier smiles and enhanced well-being, courtesy of Good Doctor and Klarens. #GoodDoctor #Klarens #Telemedicine #Gargle #Respiratory

First ever Global Oral Health Meeting has concluded with a remarkable positive outcome which is the formulation and endorsement of the Bangkok Declaration. What a week it has been and grateful are our hearts to share our experiences, successes and challenges faced by WHO member states with regards to Oral Health Services within their own respective Health Systems. The Rapid Oral Health Assessment and Roadmap provided by WHO was a game changer and an enabling tool for all countries to identify priorities and put them into actionable steps and strategically align them with GOHAP. For Samoa - our priority has been set and we hope to ride on this encouraging momentum so that our first ever National Oral Health Policy will eventuate next year - 2025! With such policy being put into place, we hope to see Oral Health being intergrated into Primary Health Care so that Universal Health Coverage can be strengthened and achieved for our people. As participants of this first GOHM our cups have runneth over with gratitude and appreciation of the hosting Country- The Kingdom of Thailand and WHOs Technical Team and associates for facilitating the entire Meeting. "The time for diagnosing our problems is over, it is time to treat and operate on our problems" - Director WPRO As Oral Health Professionals we are the gatekeepers and servants of our Oral Health system and services. We were kindly reminded by Dr Saia Piukala in his inspiring speech, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others" - Mahatma Ghandi. In one Samoan proverb "The path to Leadership is through service and serving others". There is NO Health WITHOUT ORAL HEALTH 🫶 #GOHM #GOHAP2030 #BangkokDeclaration2024

Key Points: - The foundation of lifestyle medicine includes healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, restorative sleep, nurturing social relationships, and avoiding addictions. - A multidisciplinary approach can improve patient satisfaction and reduce healthcare costs. - The LMGA urges the integration of lifestyle medicine into healthcare systems, ensuring that all healthcare professionals are familiar with and apply its principles.

Seven million premature deaths are recorded annually as a consequence of air pollution. We see an increase in cases of bronchitis & exacerbations of chronic lung diseases eg asthma & COPD. The effects are not confined to the lungs though - although the lungs are the primary route for fine airborne particles to enter the body, impact is also felt in the neurological & cardiovascular systems, amongst others. While overarching policies are essential, these often take time to implement. In this clip by Astro AWANI, I share some thoughts on what we can do more locally. https://lnkd.in/g4bM3aDk
