Ka-set
Obsolete statistics and a wall of silence noticed by most of the national protagonists working in that particular field... In Cambodia, the fight against fake medicines is still a taboo and a very sensitive topic. However, there is no denying that the country keeps suffering as a result of counterfeit or very poor quality pharmaceuticals, of which the population remains the first victim. In order to counter that silent epidemic, which mainly concerns antibiotics and anti-malaria drugs, a team in charge of combating fake medicines has been set up within the Ministry of Health and currently benefits from the support of important private external backers. Unfortunately, it looks like a cure has yet to be found in Cambodia to put the pharmaceutical network back on its feet.

It's not just about fake medicines -- its about improper administration of proper ones. When you hand out antibiotics like candy, you start seeing drug-resistant "super bugs" emerge.
This is why drug-resistant Malaria is spreading around Cambodia.
