Outline of the Project
Project Name
Project for Strengthening Human Resources Development System of Co-medicals
Project Period
From June 2010 to June 2015
CP organization
Ministry of Health, Cambodia
Project Background
Technical cooperation in the field of Co-medical education system was started as "Project for Human Resources Development for Co-Medicals", from 2003 to 2010. The project contributed to develop regulations on the "School approval criteria" and "guidelines for approved schools"; and provided reference books to the schools for co medicals (Nurse, Laboratory technician, Physiotherapy and Radiology) with short refresher courses for school teachers in Cambodia. However, some issues still remain, i.e. lack of systematic mechanism for capacity building of teaching staff, insufficient regulations for controlling the quality of health professionals, and difficulties in harmonization and alignment among partners pre-service and in-service training needs.
Based on the lessons learned from the previous project, New project "Project for Human Recourses Development System of Co-medicals" was launched as taking position of phase 2 of the previous project described above. The newly started project has two main pillars with the focus on nursing and midwifery. One is developing a training system for existing and new teacher, Another is supporting to develop an regulatory framework for health professionals.
The project office locates at Department of Human Resource Development, MOH, Cambodia and activities were started in June 2010.
