Project for Human Resource Development of Cambodian Rehabilitation specialists in NCDs Project2021/04/23●Due to the spread of COVID-19, international organizations have announced concerns about the infection of people with noncommunicable diseases, disabilities and its impact on inequality (WHO/UN: 2020). In Cambodia, the incidence of noncommunicable diseases and disabilities has been on the rise for the past quarter century. Because of this situation, it has become
increasingly important to train professionals such as physiotherapists who can take appropriate measures against infectious
diseases and provide prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation in a safe and secure manner.
●For the past two years*, we have been working with Cambodian Physical Therapy Association and the University of Health
Science to develop bachelor's degree education and training materials for ToT about knowledge and skills in respiratory diseases,
cardiovascular diseases, cancer, maternal and child health, and elderly care, and to build momentum for nationwide expansion. In
addition, we introduced supporting member companies in the virtual booth business matching at the national academic conference.
● In 2021, the third year of the project, we will work with ministries, universities, various organizations, and higher education
institutions, as well as companies, to (1) improve the quality of postgraduate education preparation, research, and clinical practice,(2) develop ToT training programs in multiple cities, and (3) develop efficient and effective education, aiming to contribute to theimprovement of the health of the Cambodian people and public health while building a sustainable system.
