Minister of Health Mam Bun Heng said the AIDS situation in Cambodia has experienced a steady improvement over the past two decades, with a decline in infections from a peak of 1.8 per cent of the population in 1998 down to just 0.5 per cent in 2020.

 

Bun Heng made the remarks after a courtesy call with Vladanka Andreeva, the outgoing country director for UNAIDS in Cambodia on June 30.

 

“The reduction in HIV infections in Cambodia has been achieved remarkably fast. We last observed an increase in 1991. The year 2020 saw an average of only two new people infected per day nationwide,” he said.
