REYKJAVIK, Iceland: A new agreement signed on 13 June between the Icelandic Dental Association and Iceland Health, the country’s provider of publicly funded healthcare, is set to increase government funding for the dental treatment of children, the elderly and disabled people for the next five years. The landmark agreement continues the government’s commitment to pursuing equitable access to healthcare in the country and follows an important agreement in July last year which tripled funding for general orthodontic treatment.
