A RTP dedicou o dia para analisar o estado da saúde em Portugal. Na qualidade de bastonário da Ordem dos Médicos Dentistas, comentei o setor da saúde oral. Destaquei o excesso de faculdades de medicina dentária e a necessidade de alargar o programa cheque-dentista a mais segmentos da população.

Na viragem do primeiro Centenário da Universidade do Porto, a U.Porto Alumni publicou uma entrevista comigo, que está disponível para consulta em pdf.
Pequeno exerto da entrevista:
Orlando Monteiro da Silva assegura que a Ordem é hoje encarada como um “parceiro credível”, acrescentando ainda que a entidade que lidera foi responsável “pela mudança de uma visão da medicina dentária quase grotesca, em que a dor surgia associada à profissão”. Contudo, reconhece que, em Portugal, “ainda falta fazer o percurso da acessibilidade da população à medicina dentária. O Programa Nacional de Promoção da Saúde Oral [conhecido por “cheque-dentista”] foi um avanço bastante grande, mas apenas para alguns grupos especiais da população e não para a generalidade dos cidadãos”.
Como bastonário, Orlando Monteiro da Silva passou a participar em reuniões das ordens e associações socioprofissionais europeias. E daí surgiu a vontade de uma intervenção ao mais alto nível nas organizações corporativas internacionais, acabando por ser eleito, em 2006, presidente do Conselho Europeu dos Dentistas. Essa vontade de intervenção à escala global levou-o ainda mais longe: à Federação Dentária Internacional, cuja presidência assumiu em 2011. “Gostei muito de ter consciência de que alguns dos nossos problemas não são só nossos – são transversais. A abordagem internacional permite contactar realidades diferentes e trazer algumas coisas para Portugal. Ajuda-me imenso no cargo que exerço cá”, assegura o bastonário.

Last December I met with the president of the Assembly of the Republic, Assunção Esteves, which is the assembly that represents all Portuguese citizens.
The main issue of our conversation was the importance of the qualified professions in Portugal, once that I was there as president of the National Council of the Professional Orders (CNOP).

“Ser Médico Dentista” foi o tema da palestra que proferi nas Noites de Medicina Dentária, evento organizado pelo Núcleo de Medicina Dentária da Associação de Estudantes do ISCS-N (CESPU), no último dia 5 de dezembro, no Campus Universitário de Gandra, Paredes.
Esteve presente uma vasta audiência de alunos dos vários anos do mestrado integrado em medicina dentária. Marcaram presença também vários docentes e responsáveis da CESPU.
Apesar de fortemente engripado, foi para mim um enorme prazer partilhar com a audiência a minha experiência do que é “Ser médico dentista” e interagir numa animada sessão de comentários com alguns dos presentes. Os meus agradecimentos ao Núcleo de Medicina Dentária da Associação de Estudantes do ISCS-N (CESPU).

There was time to promote a meeting between IADS and Portuguese Dental Students Associations. My eyes are always looking to students and young dentists from long time ago, it’s an old concern. Portugal hasn’t delegates at IADS and the aim of that meeting was to promote further developments between all of them.
