| 1.1.1 | <p>Developing evidence-based service packages and clinical guidelines to improve quality of primary health care in Cambodia</p> | The Complementary Package of Activities (CPA) guidelines act as the essential health services packages to be delivered at three levels of hospitals, while Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are guide for physicians for appropriate and effective patient care. In 2024, WHO supported the Ministry of Health for revision of CPA and CPG and development of Referral Policy through stakeholder consultations and data collection on care pathway from the ground to make evidence-based policy. The CPA guideline was updated by adding 8 more chapters to the existing 7 chapters based on the gap analysis of current CPA implementation, change of population and service coverage, increased number of hospitals and new clinical services. CPG was reviewed and updated with the new structure and contents aligned with the latest clinical skills and technologies to be available in the country. Two existing CPGs in 2013, CPG for General Medicine for adult, increased from 101 topics to 173 topics and CPG- pediatrics for children increased from 79 topics to 87 topics. Other three new CPGs (Gynecology, Surgery, dentistry) were developed in 2024, while in 2013 no such CPGs. Data collection for care pathway focused on five key prioritized emergency and non-emergency conditions, that is, Polytrauma, Diabetes, Hypertension, Post-partum hemorrhage, Chronic Respiratory Diseases/Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases to identify the gaps between the guidelines and practices including resource constraints and the areas for improvement and potential investment in the future. CPA and CPG are to be finalized by Q2 2025. WHO will continue to support the development of Referral Policy in 2025, towards the quality care delivered at any health facility through effective referral systems. |
