Spahiu said dental examinations had been carried out at the centres to identify beneficiaries’ oral health needs and ensure they received timely follow-up care.

The screening programme is part of efforts to provide accessible and equitable healthcare, particularly for people requiring greater support, the minister said.

The programme was recently implemented in Ungrej, in the northern Lezha region, where children aged 0–18 are receiving examinations, preventive care and health education, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection said on Saturday.

Local health officials said teams from the University Dental Clinic have been deployed to conduct screenings and provide necessary interventions in coordination with local institutions.

The initiative aims to improve public awareness and ensure early diagnosis of dental issues, while also promoting preventive oral care practices among families and schools.

Authorities said the programme will be expanded to other administrative units in the Lezha region in the coming period.
