Although the health status of Cambodia people has been gradually improved, the
maternal health is still our concern. Therefore, I would like to request to the congress to
review and thoroughly analyze the strategies and activities for reducing maternal mortality
and all essential need for supporting to effectively and successfully implement those strategies
and activities, and I would like to appeal to all relevant institutions; local authorities; civil
societies; national and international organizations and the community to continue and even
increase their support and active collaboration in all health sector activities to achieve the
common goal of improving the health status of Cambodia's people, especially mothers and the
poor who are vulnerable.
The Ministry of Health highly evaluates its provincial and municipal health
department and health officials and health staff at all level for their efforts in making progress
and achievement in health sector during 2006, and highly appreciate the considerable
contribution and supports for both financial and technical of all health development partners
in the process of re-habilitating and developing health infrastructures; the institutional
development and capacity building; and health ethic to support the health service delivery to
the Cambodia's people.
Finally, I hope that the 28th National Health Congress and the 5th Joint Annual
Health Performance Review 2007 will achieve good and satisfactory results, and I would like
to I would like to wish Excellency Keo Puthreasmey, deputy prime minister; Excellencies; Lork
