We handed over our last projects in Cambodia in 2021, after 42 years in the country.
We launched a hepatitis C programme in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, in May 2016, offering the first free treatment for the blood-borne virus in the country.
The project started with the team screening HIV patients at the hospital for co-infection. Then, it expanded to include screening of patients referred by Preah Kossamak hospital’s hepatology department.
Our malaria research project in northern Cambodia was set up to find ways to eliminate malaria in an area where there is proven resistance to the most powerful antimalarial drug, artemisinin.
MSF teams responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in Cambodia between February and June 2020 by providing training and technical support in six hospitals. We handed over our last projects in 2021.
