Orapuh is an international, independent oral & public health information, education, and research organisation founded by Prof. V. E. Adamu and N. I. F. Eneojo. The platform’s name derives from the organization’s niche. Orapuh stands for the portmanteau Oral and Public Health (‘Ora’ from ‘oral’, ‘pu’ from ‘public’, and ‘h’ from ‘health’).
Orapuh is building a future where AI-inspired innovation empowers scholars, strengthens expertise, and democratises knowledge in oral and public health. We equip learners, researchers, and professionals with intelligent tools that elevate performance and expand global access to scientific discovery.
Our approach
- Digital-First: We leverage digital platforms and technologies to reach a global audience, breaking down barriers to access and delivering timely and relevant information, education, and research.
- Community-Centered: We prioritize the needs and perspectives of under-served populations, engaging with communities directly to understand their unique challenges and co-create solutions that are tailored to their needs.
- Evidence-Based: Our work is grounded in scientific evidence and best practices, ensuring that the information, education, and research we provide are accurate, reliable, and up-to-date.
- Holistic Health: We recognize the interconnectedness of oral health with overall health and well-being, taking a holistic approach to address the social, economic, and environmental determinants of health disparities.
- Continuous Learning: We are committed to continuous learning and improvement, staying abreast of emerging trends, research findings, and technological advancements to enhance the impact and effectiveness of our initiatives.
