An average Cambodian can now live six years longer, said the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO). A joint press statement by the Ministry of Health and WHO on Friday said Cambodia’s life expectancy has increased to 76. Cambodia has made significant progress in its health sector and this has contributed to the well-being of the people.

 

“Life expectancy has constantly been on a rise in Cambodia, and in 2021 and 2022, Cambodia’s life expectancy was 76 years old,” the statement said.
In 2020, the life expectancy of a Cambodian was 70.42 years.

 

In March, the government held talks with WHO, focused on strengthening the health system toward Universal Health Coverage and expanding social protection, both of which are vital to achieving the targets set in Cambodia’s Sustainable Development Goals. Health Minister Mam Bun Heng said Cambodia will continue to boost its primary healthcare with the collaboration of WHO to secure a healthy and safe future for all Cambodians.
