Cambodia has secured 32 million dollars in health and education grants from the United States, which is seeking to improve mother and child health in the impoverished country, officials said.
"We consider the improvement of maternal and child health services in Cambodia to be a major priority," said Erin Soto, director of USAID in Cambodia, on Monday.
Some of the fund will also go towards combating HIV/AIDS. Cambodia has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Asia, with 1.9 percent of the population, or approximately 123,000 people, infected.
Last month, the UN children's agency (UNICEF) said Cambodia has made significant gains in improving the health of its children in the last five years.
The gains were seen across a range of measures, including a fall in the number of childhood deaths, improved child nutrition and a shift by women towards smaller families.
Cambodia's health system was shattered after nearly three decades of war, which ended in 1998.
Rife corruption, along with tiny salaries paid to doctors and nurses, mean many take second jobs and so rebuilding the health sector is an uphill battle. — AFP
