Our governance structure

About Us        Governance Code 

Orapuh is governed by an international Oversight and Academic Board (OAB), whose 5 members are the President/CAO, the Director of Administration & Finance (DAF), and 3 other members derived from accomplished international scholars with many years of combined professional and academic experiences and research pedigree in the niche of the organization (oral and public health).
