Alarmingly, half of all deaths in Cambodia are projected to increase further because of changing lifestyles and environment (according to the National Multisectoral Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2018 – 2027). At the same time, acute and chronic malnutrition among women and children are high, severely affecting the health and mental development of later life and increasing loss of labor, incidences of illnesses, disability, poverty, and health care costs (according to the Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020). In response to these factors, the Department of Women and Health of MoWA, in collaboration with AIA Cambodia, has developed a project to Promote Health and Financial Wellbeing for Women with the aim of:
• Increasing awareness of the rights of women and families to access information and physical health services that include cervical cancer, breast cancer and nutrition to help reduce mortality rates of women caused by these diseases.
• Increasing awareness of women's and families' right to information and knowledge on mental health.
• Raising awareness of long-term financial family planning for women and families to live healthier, longer, better lives.
