Healthcare stakeholders know how much has been done over the last years to improve the life in Cambodia, as well as how much remains to be done. An impressive number of passionate people are determined to improve access and quality, and these initiatives could have an exponential impact if led within a more coordinated Healthcare sector.
For that reason, IBC established its Healthcare Committee in June 2018 – called the Health Working Group. The committee organizes monthly meetings to discuss healthcare-related issues, and quarterly events to drive our various initiatives. Our Key Focal Areas are medical affordability and medical education, which we address via awareness campaigns, networking events, think tank organization, advocacy, and partnerships with fellow Healthcare stakeholders.
Hospitals, clinics, medical practitioners, NGOs, insurance companies, distributors, manufacturers and digital health entrepreneurs are amongst members of the Healthcare Working Group. The Committee forms an environment where members can prioritize collaboration, sharing, networking, and aspire to improve the quality of Cambodian Healthcare.
Objectives:
-
Improve coordination among industry members through communication (networking, sharing information) and collaboration (organizing joint seminars and events related to medical and healthcare CSR activities)
-
Develop cooperation with National Ministries to discuss common issues and create a patient-oriented regulatory environment
-
Improve the quality of health-services provided in Cambodia in aspects such as Standard, Governance, and Education.
