[Cambodia: creation of a university hospital center at Calmette Hospital. A new start for french medical cooperation?].
In Cambodia, reconstruction of the hospital facilities remaining after the widespread destruction of the health system that occurred in 1970 has been under way since 1990. France has officially committed itself to re-organizing the Cambodian health care system and is playing a leading role in several projects. Technical assistance is provided at the Calmette Hospital, which provides not only practical training but also as a wide range of medical services with a 220-bed facility including medical departments, surgical departments, an intensive care department and a surgical theater. The objective is to reorganize the facility, update the training of staff and the available technology, and currently create an emergency care department. At the combined Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Odontology, restructuring is being managed by the French adviser to Dean who is in charge of training faculty and improving the quality of instruction which implies the assistance from French university professors. At the beginning of 1995, a new Pasteur Institute will open. The Calmette Hospital, the combined Faculty and the PASTEUR Institute constitute the University Hospital Center in Cambodia.
