Single Source Justification Reasons Cited
The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is defines as an Administrative Institute by Anoukret (Decree) No. 91 ANKR-PK and falls under the technical supervision if the Ministry of Health and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Economy and Finance. NIPH as part of the Ministry of Health Cambodia works closely with the other Institutions and Centers as well as with the Provincial Directorates. Its main purpose is to give target-oriented and qualified Public Health training to key health personnel, to analyze health-related problems to assist in developing adequate approaches through decision-linked operational research and to support the implementation of Health Care System Reform through training and research in linked Provinces. Article Three No. 91 ANKR-PK states that NIPH shall be the executive body to assist the Ministry of Health in the development of the public health sector.

Under Sub-decree 67 ANKr.BK of the Government of Cambodia dated 22 October 1997, the Ministry of Health was institutionalized as a government ministry. The MOH is solely responsible for all aspects related to health including development of strategic plans, implementation, and evaluation of the public health services in the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Cambodia is committed to Equity and the Right to Health for all Cambodians. The Second Health Sector Strategic Plan 2008-2015 (HSP2) serves as a guiding foundation for the Ministry of Health that aims to ensure improved and equitable access to , and utilization of, essential quality health care and preventive services with particular emphasis on women, children, and the poor.

The National Institute of Public Health is the only recognized National Reference Laboratory authorized by the MOH under Sub-decree 67 ANKr.BK.

The proposed Single Eligibility Cooperative Agreement with NIPH is intended to continue CDC’s long standing collaboration with the institutions within the MOH. As partners, US HHS/CDC and the NIPH will conduct mutually agreed upon activities aligning with the national and USG strategic plans. It is designed to function as a mechanism to support the capacity building of leaders in public health and strengthen the institute’s capacity to provide scientific evidence based operational research as the foundation of health reform and policy. Specific activities using existing national indicators as measurable outcomes will be developed in partnership with NIPH depending on available funding priorities.

The structure of the framework of activities in collaboration with NIPH will correspond directly with the MOH’s overall mandate for this public health institute and supports their goal to strengthen the country’s capacity for the development and implementation of evidence based public health policy and response.
