This program was initiated in response to the relatively low level of awareness among school-age children regarding proper dental care, which can effect overall health. Through this initiative, QMB aimed to provide education that is not only theoretical, but also practical and easy to understand. Early education at the primary school level is considered essential for fostering lifelong clean and healthy habits.
