Maternal & child health funding: Cambodia’s Ministry of Information donated 106 million riel (about US$26,500) to the Cambodia Kantha Bopha Foundation to help sustain free care for children, as Kantha Bopha Hospitals report heavy demand across Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Animal welfare & public health: FOUR PAWS launched a Khmer-language online reporting platform for the public and tourists to share information on dog and cat theft, transport, trafficking and slaughter—aiming to support awareness and long-term solutions. Climate-linked food safety: Extreme heat and very low water levels killed about 2,000 kg of fish in Siem Reap’s Tamouk Lake, raising fears of more losses without rain. Primary healthcare & UHC: CHAI renewed support with Cambodia’s Health Ministry, focusing on maternal/newborn/child health, immunisation, non-communicable disease care and digital health systems. Anti-misinformation: Information Minister Neth Pheaktra proposed a Mekong information integrity network and regional fact-checking/rapid response mechanism to fight fake news across borders. Health diplomacy: Cambodia’s Health Minister met a Lao ambassador as CHAI and other partners continue backing system strengthening.
