Strengthening rehabilitation and addressing the needs of persons with disabilities is essential for Cambodia's progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that no one is left behind. The Ministry of Health (MoH), through the Technical Working Group on the Health of Persons with Disabilities (TWG-HPD), has made significant progress in developing the National Policy and Strategic Plan on Disability Health Equity and Rehabilitation in the Health Sector, which is now reaching its final draft stage. As the policy moves towards endorsement, the focus of support must progressively shift from policy development to implementation.
A key priority for implementation will be the progressive integration of rehabilitation services within primary health care (PHC), ensuring that rehabilitation becomes an integral component of people-centred care rather than a stand-alone service. This will require adapting service delivery models, strengthening the rehabilitation competencies of the health workforce, and leveraging existing PHC platforms to improve early identification, referral and continuity of care. In parallel, greater attention will be needed to strengthening community-based approaches and utilizing community health platforms to improve access to rehabilitation services and respond more effectively to the needs of persons with disabilities, particularly in underserved and rural areas.
