7 Purpose of the Document This document has been developed for the five health profession Councils in partnership with the Human Resource Development Department of the Ministry of Health and with the support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and its Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project. The purpose of this document is to communicate the five Councils National Strategic Plan for for strengthening the system of regulation for all health professionals in Cambodia. Introduction and Context The Royal Government of Cambodia progressively introduced Royal Decrees to establish the five health profession Councils as follows: Medical Council of Cambodia 2000 Dental Council of Cambodia 2005 Cambodian Midwives Council 2006 Cambodia Council of Nurses 2008 Pharmacy Council of Cambodia 2010 This legislation and other related legislative instruments, sub-decrees and prakas currently provide the framework for the establishment and delivery of health professional regulation. The increasing focus on the assurance of both quality and safety of the public and private health care systems in Cambodia has resulted in consideration of how best to strengthen the system of regulating all health professionals in ways that meet the needs, cultural context and resources of Cambodia. Another equally important driver for this reform is the Royal Government of Cambodia s membership in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). One of the primary goals of ASEAN is to improve skill development for health professionals so they can work in many different countries in the region. Three Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) covering Doctors, Nurses, Dentists are being progressed with the objectives being to: Facilitate mobility of doctors, nurses and dentists within the ASEAN region Exchange information and enhance cooperation in respect of mutual recognition of doctors, nurses and dentists Promote adoption of best practices on standards and qualifications Provide opportunities for capacity building and education of doctors, nurses and dentists Health Profession Councils National Strategic Plan 1
8 A rapid baseline assessment was conducted in 2014 by the USAID ASSIST Project using a mixed methods approach that included: 1. A desktop review of key laws, plans, reports and other documents relating to the regulation of the health professions 2. Key informant interviews with stakeholders in Cambodia (at the National, Regional and Provincial level) 3. Gathering data using survey instruments to assess stakeholder knowledge of regulation 4. The completion of self-assessments by members of the five regulatory Councils 5. A rapid literature review to identify: The key functions of health professional regulation The key issues affecting the Cambodian health sector (including relevant development in the wider ASEAN region; and Smart practices to health professional regulation of possible relevance to Cambodia. The baseline assessment findings along with international experiences and Cambodian stakeholder perspectives were presented by the Councils at a two-day National Consultative Workshop in October The decision to strengthen the regulatory system provides a systematic way for all the Councils to work in partnership with stakeholders and health development partners to address the identified issues of: 1. Weak and variable effectiveness of health profession regulation; 2. Limited authority, capacity, structure and powers of the health profession Councils to regulate health professionals in Cambodia; 3. Limited connections between health profession regulation with other quality and safety mechanisms in the Cambodian health system. The stepwise interactive process of the National Consultative Workshop provided the opportunity to facilitate stakeholders understanding of the regulatory issues and the regulatory situation and to develop the strategy content. Five key issues were prioritised from the 20 issues identified. This resulted in 10 key strategic objectives and 28 strategic interventions to achieve the strategic objectives. The health development partners and the Human Resource Development Department of the Ministry of Health assisted the Councils to prioritise and finalise the Councils National Strategic Plan Health Profession Councils Strategic Intent The Councils strategic intent over the next five years is to strengthen the system for regulation of all health professionals in Cambodia and thereby protect the community of Cambodia by: Addressing issues that adversely impact on the effectiveness of regulation of health professionals; Improving the authority, powers, capacity and structure of the five health profession Councils to regulate the health professions: doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and midwives; Working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, Ministry of Justice, health development partners and key stakeholders to regulate the health professions effectively; Enhancing the connections between health profession regulation and other quality improvement and safety mechanisms within the Cambodian public and private health care systems. 2 Health Profession Councils National Strategic Plan
9 Vision, Mission and Core Values of the Five Councils The five health profession Councils continue to remain independent entities responsible under the law for regulating their respective health profession. However, the Councils have made a commitment to work in partnership together with the Ministry of Health to achieve the following Vision and Mission and apply the Core Values to their actions and decisions in implementing the National Strategic Plan. Vision A strong and responsive system of health profession regulation that supports safe, quality health care services delivered by competent and registered health professionals in Cambodia. Core Values The core values underpinning the Councils actions and decisions are: Collaboration Consistency Quality and safety Fairness Integrity Transparency Accountability Mission Provide the leadership and collective voice in strengthening the system of regulation for all health professionals (medical practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and midwives) in accordance with the legislation and contemporary regulatory practices and in partnership with stakeholders. Health Profession Councils National Strategic Plan 3
10 Themes and Criteria for High-performing Regulatory Bodies The National Strategic Plan for is based on four features or themes identified as necessary for Councils to become high-performing health professional regulatory bodies to assure the safety and quality of registered health professionals and their practice. These themes are: 1. Legislation, advocacy and responsiveness 2. Organisational and internal governance 3. Responsibilities and functions 4. External governance and public accountability Aspects of each of these four themes have been identified as the focus of this five-year Strategic Plan. They are Legislation, Organisational, Responsibilities and functions and Public accountability. A number of key criteria related to these themes will allow for the continuous assessment of the Councils performance in implementing the strategic interventions over the next five years to address the shortcomings of the current regulatory system. The five-year Strategic Plan focuses on some of the key criteria relating to aspects of the four themes that are considered to be a priority in the next five years. The aspects of the four themes are underlined and the related key criteria are identified by an asterisk (*) in the table below.

It is envisaged that many of these key performance indicators will be developed in partnership with stakeholders for each of the regulatory and business functions. It will also provide a mechanism for ongoing assessment of the performance of the Councils in the delivery of a cost effective, efficient and quality regulatory service for all health professions. The Strategic Plan and associated work will be reviewed regularly by the Councils to: Assess the progress of the action plan for each strategic intervention and to reflect changing needs and priorities; Ensure continued alignment with the five health profession Councils shared vision, mission and values; Ensure it complements each Council s existing legislative mandate to effectively regulate their respective health profession and thereby protect the people of Cambodia.
