Abstract

Cambodia's population is 16,7 million people (2020). From 1975 to 1979, Cambodia experienced a horrendous genocide; therefore, the country started to reconstruct from beginning. Health is a significant topic and priority in development. The healthcare system in Cambodia is undergoing reform. Currently, only one large public university provides postgraduate training in critical care medicine as part of a residency in anesthesiology, critical care, and emergency medicine. The combination of three skills would enable the nation to achieve its requirements despite limited resources. National and international educational collaboration in Cambodia encourages greater treatment for the critically ill, often as part of emergency medicine or anesthetic programs. In order to handle the magnitude of critical care medical difficulties, Cambodia's critical care medicine requires undergo significant improvement. Education should be the primary emphasis of this area's growth.
