    PREFACE

    Being one of the oldest and leading University in Cambodia, the University of Health Sciences thrives on excellence in training, research and service provision in the field of health sciences.

    Since its transformation into the status of Administrative Public Institution, the University of Health Sciences has developed and implemented successfully its two Strategic Plans. The University of Health Sciences Strategic Plan 2019–2023 is its 3rd Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan is developed according to the Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 and the National Development Strategic Plan 2019-2023 of the Royal Government of Cambodia under the wise leadership of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen. Each strategic goal and strategy stated in this strategic plan are very clear. It shows clearly about the strong commitments of UHS leaders, staff and students in doing their further works for achieving its vision.

    I hope that this Strategic Plan will serve as a basis for all UHS members in planning their respective annual activities in order to achieve the stated goals by the year 2023. I also hope that this Strategic Plan will become an important document for relevant parties such as our development partners, donor agencies and other stakeholders in order for them to be informed of, take part in and support the successful implementation of this strategy and to contribute to the strengthening of the quality of health professional education system in Cambodia.

    Section 3: Strategic Analysis

    Statement of Strategic Intent

    The intention behind every aspect of the Strategic Plan is for the UHS to be recognized as the leading University in Cambodia in the field of health sciences and to contribute with the Royal Government of Cambodia in developing human resources in health sciences with high ethical and professional quality. UHS will also contribute to the service provision and research and innovation in order to provide important inputs for the development of health strategic directions and policies. With its historical and geographical assets, the UHS already enjoys the status of being the public university of health sciences. However, the UHS faces particular challenges in a new global and national environment.

    3.1. Health Workforce Situation in Cambodia

    The health sector has grown considerably from year to year. The health of the Cambodian people is improving constantly. This improvement has been reflected through different health indicators such as: 1) the average mortality rate of inpatient in 2018 was 0.72% which is below the target (1%), 2) the HIV incidence rate declined from 0.05 per 1000 in 2015 to 0.03 per 1000 in 2018 3) the malaria mortality declined from 0.08 in 2015 to 0.01 per 100,000 persons in 2018 4) the TB mortality rate declined from 21 cases in 2015 to 19 cases in 2017 per 100,000 persons (Reference: Health congress report 2018 and way forward in 2019). In addition, the Royal Government of Cambodia offers social health protection for venerable and poor family such as providing poor ID card for the poor people to get free of charge health service, providing the financial support to pre and post-natal cares which are also free of charge (4 times of prenatal care and 10 times of postnatal care) to all poor women or garment female workers who deliver a child , as well as providing social security insurance to public servants, veterans, former civil servants, workers and anyone who are regulated by the Labor Law. This has led to better health for the people.

    According to Ministry of Health data in 2018, there are totally 25,438 health personals1. Among them, there are 23,947 technical staff and 1,491 other types of staff2. The number of health staff is relatively stable between 2016 and 2018.

    1 The data does not include health workers in the private sector.2 Health congress report 2018 and way forward for 2019

    In the academic year 2013-2014, there were 8,937 new intake students registered in the public and private health training institutions. This number of intake student has been decreased every year since the academic year 2016-2017 when the National entrance exam for undergraduate programs have been introduced. In the academic year 2018-2019, there were totally 3,782 new intake students registered in the public and private health training institutions. This decrease is partly due to the low number of high school graduates since the academic year 2013-2014 and due to the declining number of students of associate program.

    Figure 1: Graph representing the data of new intake students in public and private health training Institutions from academic year 2013-2014 to academic year 2018-20193

    According to the data from Department of Human Resource development of Ministry of Health, there are around 4000 and 6000 graduates from both public and private health training institutions each year. However, only around 700 health new staff are recruited each year into the public sector and no available data of the new recruitment of health staff each year for the private sector.

    Although the number of human resources in the health sector is well-established, the situation of health officials in terms of geographical location and the quality of human resources in the health sector remains a challenge that the Ministry of Health has put in place. Various measures are required to address these challenges.

    3 Data from Health congress report from 2013 to 2018

  • Together Towards Excellence in Health Sciences Training, Research, innovation and service provision

    The Ministry of Health has launched the Health Sector Human Development Plan 2016-2020 with five strategic objectives, including:

    • Adopt a unified approach to health workforce planning, to ensure health workforce development is responsive to population and service needs.

    • Enable effective delivery of health services by promoting equitable distribution, ensuring retention and skill mix of health workers.

    • Address workforce needs, including workplace environment, to ensure optimal staff productivity, motivation and participation.

    • Improve the quality of education and training to meet the skill and development needs of the workforce in a changing demographic and epidemiological environment.

    • Strengthen health workforce regulation and management to ensure quality of service delivery

    Sub-decree 21 and amendment of Sub-decree 21 have direct implications to health sector education. These sub-decrees define clearly the criteria and measures of pathways and degree levels of health science education; the ending of the quota of student intake by each health training institution by the academic year 2018-2019. In addition, there are sub-decree on the nomination of professorship in the field of health sciences and professional pathways at the public and private institutions.The training in the field of health sciences is divided in two types: pre-service and in-service training.

    3.2. Environmental Assessment

    Being a member of ASEAN has provided Cambodia with opportunities for change: mobility of students, staff and faculty members and also curricula review. In addition, the Royal Government of Cambodia has put forward a policy of strengthening ownership and partnership in developing cooperation, integrating into the region and the world, which is a major driver of higher education for strengthening and expanding cooperation with international partners in order to improve the quality of learning and teaching, research and service delivery.The macro-economic stability and the healthy economic growth in Cambodia has enabled the public institution like UHS to invest and develop according to the requirements of nationally and internationally quality standards.

    The human resource development is the most priority strategic goals of the Royal Government of Cambodia in its sixth legislature of the National Assembly. The Royal Government of Cambodia aims to produce high quality human resource with equity, science and technology focused, job market oriented. Aiming to strengthen the health system with a sufficient number of competent, skill mix, motivated and professional ethical staff, the Ministry of Health has set up strategic priorities such as:

    • Ensure introduction of competency-based curricula for the training of all health professions.

    • Establish standardized criteria for the recognition of training hospitals, including development and implementation of SOPs for the clinical placement sites.

    • Strengthen clinical practice training for all health profession. • Strengthen the capacity of faculties in health training institutions.• Strengthen design and implementation of the National Entrance and Exit

    Examinations.• Strengthen the monitoring of the implementation of competency-based

    curricula in health training institutions.• Strengthen the database on in-service trainings .• Ensure standardization and quality of all in-service trainings. • Introduce monitoring mechanisms to strengthen the quality of in-service

    training. • Ensure in-service training are based on identified staff development needs

    and training requirements to meet the objectives of the local institutions. • Develop and strengthen system for the coordination of in-service trainings • Establish academic accreditation body and regulatory systems to ensure

    quality, quantity, relevance and competencies of health personnel. • Enforce IQA as a mandatory requirement for all health training institutions. • Establish a system and procedures for program accreditation.

    Aiming to reform of higher education system in Cambodia, the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport has set up specific strategies to be implemented from 2018 and 2023 such as: 1) Explore the possibility of transforming public higher education institutions into public administration higher education institutions 2) Support

  • Together Towards Excellence in Health Sciences Training, Research, innovation and service provision

    public higher education institutions to become fully autonomous on financial and human resource management 3) Develop a curriculum framework to link to industry developments 4) Promote research and encourage the establishment of research centers of excellence at higher education institutions 5) Implement IQA and assess the quality of education of higher education institutions4.

    3.3. Competitive Benchmark Analysis

    The UHS is operating in an increasingly competitive environment, within different national and regional universities in the field of health sciences. The ASEAN permits the free flow of labors among ASEAN member countries including health workers such as nurses, medical doctor and dentist. Some countries in the region do not require the entrance exam for the training in health sciences. Some health training programs in the region require shorter length of study than Cambodian health training programs. It has led to the strong competition between UHS and the Universities in the region.Refer to the data published by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport there are totally 125 higher education institutions (HEIs) in Cambodia (48 public HEIs and 77 private HEIs)5. 20 HEIs provide the training in the field of health sciences. Among them, 7 are public HEIs (1. University of Health Sciences 2. National Institute of Public Health 3. Regional Training Center of Battambang 4. Regional Training Center of Kampong Cham 5. Regional Training Center of Kampot 6. Regional Training School of SteungTreng and 7. Health Science Institute for Royal Cambodia Arm Force) and 13 are private HEIs (1. International University 2. Bolino Institute of Kampong Chnang 3. University of Puthisastra 4. Norton University 5. Chenla University in Phnom Penh 6. Chenla University in Battambang 7. Life University 8. Asia Sciences Institute 9. Kampong Cham University 10. University of Angkor 11. Institute of health care of Battambang 12. International University in Battambang and 13. University of Sciences).
