Article Synopsis
- Cambodia has made progress in various sectors but still faces significant gaps in child health, particularly in rural areas compared to urban ones, which may hinder achieving Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
- A survey of 230 rural households revealed an 11.5% under-5 mortality rate, with common public health interventions, such as vaccinations and clean water access, being under-utilized, disproportionately affecting rural populations.
- The study highlights the need for targeted interventions based on village-specific risks, especially improving vaccination rates and clean drinking water access, emphasizing the necessity for better resources and public health initiatives in rural Cambodia.
