The Need to Promote Olfactory Health in Public Health Agendas Across the Globe
We recommend developing smell health educational programmes and awareness campaigns, introducing smell screening and developing and implementing smell health policies across sectors of society. Efforts are needed to ensure equity, diversity and inclusivity for all people, particularly given the current demographic as those seeking help are typically not from a diverse cross-section of the community.
