Three non-locally trained dentists start practice at gov't clinics

The three dentists have practised in the Mainland, the UK, and Australia.

Three non-locally trained dentists recruited by the Department of Health started working at government dental clinics in the first quarter.

The three dentists have practised in the Mainland, the UK, and Australia after obtaining their professional qualifications in dentistry from the Mainland and overseas institutions.

Last July 2024, the Legislative Council amended bills for admitting qualified non-locally trained dentists, including limited registration and special registration targeting specialist dentists.

The department launched a global recruitment drive in the same month and received over 90 applications from non-locally trained dentists.
