PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The impacts of the Khmer Rouge are still deeply felt throughout Cambodia, particularly in the healthcare sector, which continues to face numerous challenges.

With 50% of Cambodia's population under the age of 22, there is a shortage of professionals across various sectors, notably in healthcare. Nutritional deficiencies, mental health issues, and non-communicable diseases pose significant threats to the community. Our Health Promotion Challenge is, therefore, essential for enhancing the community's knowledge on crucial health topics and improving overall public health.
