Midwifery in Cambodia (3)<br />

• In 2003, the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> also introduced a<br />

1-year Primary Nurse-Midwifery programme<br />

specifically for use in the North-East Region.<br />

This programme was designed to address the<br />

severe shortage <strong>of</strong> midwives in the North-East,<br />

and a lower entry requirement (completed grade<br />

7 schooling) was adopted to ensure that local<br />

women who were willing to live and work in that<br />

region were eligible for some elementary training<br />

in nursing and midwifery. Graduates from this<br />

programme may enter into civil service against<br />

the post <strong>of</strong> a Primary Midwife (PMW).<br />

Midwifery in Cambodia (4)<br />

• In 2005, The <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> decided to expand<br />

this one-year programme nationwide and revised<br />

the curriculum. Successful graduates following the<br />

midwifery field <strong>of</strong> study, will get a Diploma in<br />

Primary Midwifery, and will be eligible to enter Civil<br />

Service against the post <strong>of</strong> Primary Midwife.<br />

• In 2004/2005, one private sector post-basic (1<br />

year after nursing) midwifery training programme<br />

was initiated at the International University (IU) in<br />

Phnom Penh. The University intends to produce<br />

20 graduates per year and use the national 1-year<br />

post-basic curriculum. The first batch <strong>of</strong> graduates<br />

is expected in 2006.<br />
