Despite the near complete devastation of its infrastructure and human resources during the period from 1975‐1979, and the further challenges that beset the nation during the following two decades as it sought to divest itself of the Khmer Rouge insurgency and reopen doors to international engagement and development, the Cambodian health system is recovering rapidly, and while numerous challenges remain, Cambodians are fortunate to have a proactive reformist Health Ministry2,3,4. While it was clear that many hospitals still lack adequate equipment, trained personnel and basic capacities, both the management of the Ministry of Health, and the management and staff of health facilities themselves appear to share a commitment to improving services and expanding service delivery capacity. There are currently 8 national and 69 referral hospitals functioning in 77 Operational Districts that each service a population of between 100‐200K people5. Within this framework are a further 972 health centres and 72 health posts. Numerous NGO’s also operate special purpose health facilities (i.e.: trauma centres, rehabilitation clinics or specialist paediatric hospitals) throughout the country.
