Twenty hospitals and clinics in the capital, Siem Reap and Battambang provinces have participated in the “Leveraging Technology to Upgrade Cambodian Healthcare” project to “go digital and go green” by switching from traditional paper-based operations to a new digital hospital management system developed by Peth Yoeung – a cloud-based platform developer from Cambodia.
Singapore's Ssivix Lab Pte Ltd and local healthtech start-up First Womentech Asia Co Ltd signed a venture partnership to support Cambodia’s healthcare service providers with on-demand telehealth consulting services, with the aim of expanding throughout the Mekong region and to other Asian countries late this year.
