Kota Kinabalu: The State Government remains committed to supporting initiatives that enhance healthcare services for the people, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (pic). 'Dental professionals play a crucial role in the overall health of our people, and the government is constantly looking for ways to improve access to high-quality dental care. 'This congress serves as a platform to exchange ideas on how we can all work together to ensure that dental care continues to evolve and thrive in our state and region,' he said at the 13th Borneo Dental Congress and Trade Exhibition at the Magellan Sutera Harbour, here Saturday. His speech was delivered by his Political Secretary Datuk Dr Roland Chia. Hajiji said the congress theme 'Beam Forward, Illuminate Progress' was apt as it reflected the ongoing progress and innovation within the dental profession. 'Dentistry, as we know it, has seen remarkable advancements over the years, and this congress presents a unique opportunity for you in the dental profession to exchange knowledge, share the latest advancement and technology, and collaborate on ideas that will drive the future of dental care. 'We all recognise the importance of oral health in maintaining overall well-being. The connection between oral health and general health is undeniable, and as we face new challenges in healthcare, it is essential that we continue to innovate and strive for excellence in the way we provide dental care,' he said. Hajiji hoped this congress will pave the way for new ideas, solutions, and innovations that will benefit not only the dental profession but also the communities you serve. 'I hope this congress will inspire you to continue pushing the boundaries of dental care and build lasting connections that will shape the future of dentistry. My best wishes to all of you for a fruitful and successful congress and exhibition,' he said.

According to Dr Angelmerici Wong, the event brings together leading dental professionals and industry players under the forward-looking theme, 'Beam Forward, Illuminate Progress'. She said the delegates were gathering in Sabah to share knowledge, explore advancements and network with peers, embodying the event's core aim of fostering cross-border collaboration and enhancing dental practices across nations. 'Complementing the scientific sessions is a comprehensive Trade Exhibition showcasing the latest innovations, products, and services from 43 leading dental companies.
