Congratulations to University of Health Sciences, SickKids Centre for Global Child Health, Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for the successful dissemination of the Women's Health and Wellbeing results from the Cambodia case study. We look forward to publishing these findings later this year.
Researchers present the methodologies and key findings related to the research results of the study project on “The Exemplars in Women’s Health and Wellbeing (WHW)” - On February 27, 2025, following the opening ceremony of the dissemination workshop to present the research results on “The Exemplars in Women’s Health and Wellbeing (WHW)”, three key presentations were delivered: (1) WHW Exemplar Country Selection Methodology by Dr. Sacha St-Onge Ahmad, (2) Cambodia Case Study Methodology, and (3) Findings from Cambodia Case Study by Dr. Seang Kennarey. The event was honored by the presence of H.E. Prof. Saphonn Vonthanak, Advisor to the Ministry of Health and Rector of the University of Health Sciences (UHS); Prof. Zulfiqar Bhutta, Chair of the Centre for Global Child Health at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, Canada; and Prof. Shreelata Rao Seshadri, Director of the Ramalingaswami Centre for Equity and Social Determinants of Health at the Public Health Foundation of India. These significant presentations were attended by provincial maternal and child health program leaders, research officials from the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports, the Minister of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, the Ministry of Environment, representatives from various non-governmental organizations working on women’s health and wellbeing, and students from UHS. Over 150 participants, including national and international guests, joined both in person and virtually at Raffles Hotel Le Royal. The research findings from “The Exemplars in Women’s Health and Wellbeing” project provided clear evidence of the Cambodian government's efforts in advancing women's health and wellbeing in the country. By assessing key indicators related to the improvement of women’s health—such as reductions in physical, psychological, and sexual violence against women, HIV transmission rates, and access to antenatal care services—the study highlighted Cambodia’s progress in the health sector. Compared to other countries in South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific region, Cambodia has demonstrated strong outcomes in health, service utilization, and nutritional dimensions. #WomensHealth #CambodiaHealth #Research #GlobalHealth #UHS #MoWA #MoEYS #MoSVY #MLVT #MoE #SickKids #Canada #MOH #Cambodia
