Kantha Bopha Hospitals Cambodia

Proyecto terminado

Founded by Dr. Beat Richner in 1992, the five Kantha Bopha Hospitals (KBH) provide in 2016 free of charge health services for children and expecting mothers, and cover around 60–85 % of all sick children in Cambodia. Given their broad coverage and their status as Governmental University hospitals, KBH are a crucial actor in the Cambodian health sector. While their long term financial sustainability is a concern, it is SDC’s objective through this proposal to address the matter.

Contexto

As a post-conflict country, Cambodia is facing multiple challenges, such as centralized health system, mistrust in and poor quality of public services and widespread corruption. However Cambodia has made tremendous progress towards the MDGs especially in health, but much remains to be done if the country wants to achieve Universal Health Coverage as in the Agenda 2030. In this sense Cambodia is undergoing major structural and institutional health reforms.
