Doing together to strengthen the quality of health research services in Cambodia
We are conducting medical research together with both government institutions and non-governmental organizations involved in infectious disease control to develop national policy and improve emerging disease responses in Cambodia
PROM Health Development (PHD) is a non-profit organization recognized by the Cambodian Royal Government. Based in Phnom Penh, PHD works largely in under served communities throughout Cambodia with the highest burdens of disease. PHD focuses not only on technical and research objectives but on improving the total health and development of communities. PHD supports the Royal Government of Cambodia’s activities particularly in the areas of vector borne and arboviral diseases. After many years of effort, PHD also continues to support the Government in it’s goal to eliminate malaria by 2025. PHD conducts public health outreach and high quality clinical and operational research to inform evidence-based disease and vector elimination efforts. Our founding principles are respect, dignity and compassion for all persons in Cambodia. We achieve success by partnering with local health organizations, NGOs and government agencies to provide high quality health care and research services.
What We Do
Integration of Genomics into the Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance network of Cambodia
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global concern.
Characterization of febrile disease landscape in Cambodia via metagenomic pathogen sequencing
Using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), we identified a variety of vector-borne, zoonotic,…
Investigating the zoonotic diseases to help public health response
PROM Health Development (PHD) and Department of Wildlife and Biodiversity (DWB)
We seek to achieve sustainable gains our goals by developing existing local resources and expertise through effective, transparent community engagement. PHD provides technical assistance and builds capacity within communities by working side by side with our partners. PHD had and has Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with the National Malaria Center, the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), and with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MoAFF) to provide health care services to civilian personnel. PHD also has an MoU with Cambodia Communicable Disease Control (CCDC), and 4 hospitals which serve as sentinel sites for NIAID/NIH febrile illness projects through ICER/NIH. We aim to further expand cooperative health partnerships in Cambodia, seeking to support local efforts where the need is greatest.
We are committed to working in communities with some of the greatest needs to support research projects. Our team has more than 15 years experience in vector-borne disease control, conducting clinical trials of antimalarials and surveillance of influenza, dengue and diarrheal disease in Cambodia. This includes support for rapid outbreak response to emerging or newly investigated pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in many communities in Cambodia including 4 national hospitals in Phnom Penh city (Detail locations each project in the map).
