According to the WHO data and statistics, health organizations in Cambodia have a critical shortage of medical personnel. For 10 000 people there are 10 doctors, nurses, and midwives which is more than twice as fewer than the critical 23 professionals per 10 000 people. Even though the access to medical care of the most vulnerable (children, women) has improved in the past years, many of the MDGs formed by the Cambodian government remain unfulfilled (child mortality, healthcare access for women/pregnant women). As a result of the rapid economic development in the past decade and the increasing standard of living, Cambodia has been struggling with new challenges that put a major strain on its fragile, still-developing system.
