The Cambodian and US governments have expanded bilateral health cooperation through new projects aimed at improving accountability, resource management and shared public health outcomes, including the elimination of infectious diseases and the strengthening of surveillance systems.
Discussions on the proposed 2026–2030 expansion are underway within an inter-ministerial framework. A draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on health cooperation was reviewed recently at the Council for the Development of Cambodia.
Secretary of State for Health Yuok Sambath said the US continues to be a key partner in Cambodia’s efforts to control infectious diseases and build high-capacity disease surveillance systems. The proposed agreement is intended to provide a formal framework for cooperation covering HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, global health security, disease surveillance, outbreak response, health data systems and technical assistance. It also seeks to promote transparency and efficient use of resources in support of Cambodia’s objective of universal health coverage.
Yong Kim Eng, Executive Director of the Citizens’ Center for Peace and Development, said Cambodia–US relations in health, national defense and other sectors have stabilized in recent years. He intoned that sustaining the broader strategic partnership would require continued attention to issues identified as priorities by the US, including human trafficking, online fraud, democracy and human rights.
In November, Health Minister Chheang Ra met with US Chargé d’Affaires Bridgette Walker to discuss ongoing support for Cambodia’s health sector, and cooperation in implementing the America First Global Health Strategy; and Ra acknowledging US contributions to strengthening healthcare system resilience and public health outcomes.
