The first National Medicines Policy for the Kingdom of Cambodia was prepared in 1995.
The Pharmaceutical Sector Strategic Plan 2005-2010 provided comprehensive direction for strengthening the pharmaceutical sector and guidelines for Good Pharmacy Practice were endorsed by the Ministry of Health in 2006.
Fifteen years after the development of the first Policy many things have changed. A new Health Strategic Plan has been developed by the Ministry of Health for the period 2008-2015. It is important that the National Medicines Policy should always align with the National Health Strategic Plan.
