ADPHC and Appolonia Group Partner to Promote Oral Health Awareness and Prevention in Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Appolonia Dental Care Holding Group to strengthen cooperation in oral and dental health awareness across the emirate. The partnership aims to promote preventive care, public awareness, and research initiatives that support overall community well-being.
The MoU was signed by His Excellency Dr. Rashed Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC, and Dr. Yaser Haj Hamed, Founder and Chairman of Appolonia Group, during a ceremony held in Abu Dhabi. The agreement underscores both entities’ shared commitment to advancing oral health as an essential component of public health and improving access to preventive dental care.
Under the partnership, ADPHC and Appolonia Group will collaborate on community awareness campaigns highlighting the link between oral health and overall well-being. The initiative will deliver preventive and educational programs for children and families, while also exploring new joint projects to foster healthier habits and disease prevention.
The collaboration will further focus on data-driven strategies, enabling better assessments of oral health trends, risk factors, and their relationship to wider public health challenges. These insights will help ADPHC refine its existing programs and policies, targeting specific groups and reducing oral health disparities across the emirate.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to holistic health and disease prevention, and the importance of engaging the private sector in addressing key health challenges,” said His Excellency Dr. Rashed Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC. “Oral health is an integral part of overall health, and through our collaboration with Appolonia Group, we aim to reach more families and instil sustainable healthy habits from an early age.”
Dr. Yaser Haj Hamed, Founder and Chairman of Appolonia Group and Synergy Dental Centers, added:
“This MoU strengthens cooperation between the public and private sectors, raising awareness and developing innovative initiatives that contribute to enhancing public health in Abu Dhabi. It creates a framework for knowledge exchange and research that supports the advancement of preventive oral health strategies.”
The partnership aligns with Abu Dhabi’s long-term vision to promote public-private collaboration in improving community health outcomes and quality of life. It complements ADPHC’s ongoing initiatives such as early childhood caries prevention programs, the school oral health program, and oral health screenings under the comprehensive IFHAS periodic examination program.
By combining expertise in public health and clinical innovation, ADPHC and Appolonia Group are advancing Abu Dhabi’s mission to ensure a healthier, more resilient community through prevention-first healthcare.
