<br/><br/> The Conférence nationale de santé (CNS) (French National Health Conference) is a consultative health democracy body that reports to the Minister of Health. After deciding to examine oral health as part of its work program, the Director General of Health asked the CNS to submit a report by the end of 2024. These recommendations are a summary of more than forty working meetings and thirty-two hearings held over a period of nine months. Among the key recommendations, we would particularly stress the need for an inter-ministerial delegate to lead on a possible “oral health” roadmap. Enabling this delegate to report on the actions undertaken to the CNS bodies would represent an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen the consultative role of this health democracy body.
