New Data Release: Cambodia Diabetes & Hypertension Survey (2024)

The School of Public Health, National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), proudly announces the public release of a major new resource: the 2024 Population-Based Survey on Diabetes and Hypertension in Cambodia dataset. 

Key Highlights & Impact

This national-level initiative directly contributes to evidence-based monitoring of Universal Health Coverage (UHC)and the Service Coverage Index (SCI) in Cambodia.

• Data Coverage: Household-level data collected from approximately 4,600 households (representing nearly 20,000 individuals) across five key provinces: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kampot, Takeo, and Ratanakiri.
• Methodology: Utilised a rigorous multi-stage, probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) sampling design with digital, tablet-based collection (Aug–Sept 2024).

Data Focus Areas

The comprehensive anonymised dataset enables crucial analyses on health equity, service access, and financial protection. Detailed variables cover:

• Socio-Economic Status: Income, assets, education, and housing conditions.
• Health Access: Facility utilisation, travel time, and reasons for non-utilisation.
• Chronic Diseases: Recent morbidity and status of Diabetes, Hypertension, and associated risk factors.
• Financial Protection: Out-of-pocket spending, insurance coverage, and coping strategies.

Research Opportunity

Researchers can now generate disaggregated indicators (by province, wealth quintile, gender) and model key determinants of NCD care-seeking and catastrophic health spending, supporting Cambodia’s UHC 2035 milestones.
