Health Professionals Face Registration Reform
On the Health Ministry’s Facebook page, Health Minister Mam Bun Heng urged everyone with links to the health industry to enforce the law to provide safe, efficient and ethical services.

The law was formally adopted by the king last month. It aims to protect health and safety through mechanisms which ensure that all health professional practices must be staffed by people with sufficient qualifications, capacity and fitness to practice their profession.

This law cover professionals such as doctors, dentists, midwives, nurses, pharmacists, clinic laboratory technicians, radiology technicians, physical therapists and others.

Any health professional who wants to do business needs to register and seek a license from professional councils. Health professionals have 12 months in which to apply for a license.

San Chey, the executive director of the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability, told Khmer Times that he had no trust in enforcement of the new measures.
He was concerned about a license to do business, which could be sold.
“The ministry has to check on this issue because it is risky for the patients, and to stop the sale of licenses becoming a business, which had been happening in Cambodia.”
