The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with dental health practitioners across the country, has announced a groundbreaking initiative to integrate digital technology into dental healthcare delivery in Ghana.
The announcement was made during the Ghana International Dental Scientific Conference held on Wednesday, May 28, under the theme “Current Trends in Dental Science.”
The initiative aims to enhance the quality of dental care by incorporating cutting-edge tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D imaging, and other advanced digital technologies.
These innovations are expected to significantly improve diagnosis, treatment, and access to oral health services across the country.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister of Health at the conference, Dr. Ernest Konadu Asiedu emphasised the transformative potential of digital dentistry.
“The rise of digital technology including digital impressions, 3D printing, and tele-dentistry is enhancing precision and expanding access to care,” he stated.
Dr. Asiedu further revealed that the digital dental initiative will not be limited to urban centers.
Plans are underway to extend the program to schools and rural communities, ensuring that quality oral healthcare becomes accessible to all Ghanaians regardless of location.
This move marks a significant step forward in modernizing Ghana’s healthcare system and is expected to position the country as a leader in digital dental innovation in the region.
