Cambodia Medical Mission

According to the World Health Organization’s Global Health Workforce Statistics, the number of skilled health professionals in Cambodia is well below the minimum threshold to sufficiently cover the population’s health needs. Through the work of nongovernment organizations, more skilled healthcare professionals can provide sustainable and accessible quality care to those around the poverty line.

​

Led by oral surgeon Dr. Jimmy Shern, DMD, the weeklong mission also involved equipping the local aspiring dental practitioners with dental hygiene knowledge in order to achieve greater long term health impacts in the village.
