In Cambodia, the proportions of the people below the “absolute poverty line”, which indicates the requirements necessary to afford minimal standards of life, are estimated to be 17% in rural areas, 13% in urban areas (except for Phnom Penh), and 3% in Phnom Penh (in 2004). Since private insurances in Cambodia does not always meet their needs, some have to pay their entire medical costs out of their pocket and many cannot receive adequate medical care. This is why we run the “AKAHIGE” project to provide medical care to all the people. The word “AKAHIGE” is from the Kurosawa movie, “Akahige”, which describes the love and of life through the communication between a doctor and his patients.
For the people who cannot receive adequate medical care or education, we are continuously visiting local cities and doing seminars to provide healthcare education and to supply goods. In addition, the person who recognized that there is no ability to pay will be taken to the hospital. The medical care which can be done only by us will make the auxiliary of the treatment costs. We are going to create a new scheme where people can operate a hospital, train their staff, and build a local system on their own without support so they can get away from the current situations; ”medicine that involves only charity” and ”adequate medical care is only for the wealthy population”.
When conducting clinical research, we get written or verbal explanations and consent.
Among the clinical studies, studies that use only information such as medical care information without invasion or intervention to patients, or studies that use only surplus specimens should be conducted as Guidelines (“Ethical guidelines for medical research targeting humans”).
Based on this, we do not directly obtain the consent of all the target individuals, but disclose the research information and guarantee the opportunity of refusal.
This is called "opt-out".
The clinical studies that opt out are as follows.

|
Author: |

|
Result: |
A total of 6167 patients who visited the emergency department at SJH between January 2017 and September 2019 were included in the analysis. The proportion of patients who needed to be hospitalized or transferred increased with the distance from the capital. The proportion of patients who finished consultation decreased with the distance from the capital (P < .01: Chi- square test). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the admission rate in rural areas was significantly higher only among males as compared to that of the capital in multivariate analyses adjusted for age, time, and season. |

Among the 6090 (3174 men and 2916 women) participants who were enrolled in the study, the prevalence of MetS was 60.1% in men and 52.4% in women. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 73.2% in men and 65.3% in women, and was the highest MetS component in both men and women. In contrast, the lowest prevalence rates were observed for |

Difference of sociodemographic characteristics among the disabled population in Cambodia: a cross-sectional study of the demographic and health survey data |
|

|
Result: |
The results showed that the proportion of people with disabilities greatly increased with age. The rural-urban residence difference affected the disability proportion in univariate analysis; however, the effect was not significant after adjusting for covariables in multivariate analysis. The odds of having a disability were 0.85 times lower for the high economic status group than for the low economic status group. |

|
Result: |
The observed number of symptoms was 1.16 times higher among women (P=0.004), increased with the duration of work, and decreased with age. In addition, we identified five significant pesticide-protective behaviors: 1) preparing using gloves, 2) using protective equipment, 3) avoiding wiping sweat, 4) avoiding leaking, and 5) resting when feeling ill. Pesticide-protective behaviors tended to decrease with the duration of working years in the low-education group (B=−0.04, SE=0.01), whereas no association was observed in the high-education group (B=0.01, SE=0.01). |

Lifestyle Factors Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Urban Cambodia |
|
Author: |
Miharu Tamaoki, Ikumi Honda 1, Keisuke Nakanishi, Maki Nakajima, Sophathya Cheam, Manabu Okawada, Hisataka Sakakibara |
|
Result: |
Our results indicated that lifestyles significantly associated with MetS among Cambodians living in urban areas of Cambodia were eating quicker than others, walking faster than those of the same sex of similar age and drinking alcohol in both men and women. In addition, there were significant associations with normal eating speed for men only and, for women only, skipping breakfast at least three days per week, eating food after dinner at least three days per week and getting enough rest through sleep. Further studies are needed to examine lifestyle factors to derive more suitable content for Cambodians’ living environment, which may lead to efforts for the prevention of MetS tailored to the characteristics of Cambodians. |

Lessons from COVID-19’s impact on medical tourism in Cambodia |
|
Author: |
Makoto Kosaka, Yurie Kobashi, Kensuke Kato, Manabu Okawada Masaharu Tsubokura |
|
Result: |
In this COVID-19 era, many patients are affected due to the loss of medical tourism. In Cambodia, where the obvious problem of providing medical care to people in own country as part of lifeline has not yet been solved, medical tourism has become a tentative solution that has prevented fundamental solutions to the problem. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Cambodia to confront this problem by making medical tourism unfeasible. This experience revealed the need to encourage patients who were unable to undertake medical tourism to visit domestic medical facilities, make efforts to share patient information across countries, and to invest in developing each department in domestic hospitals. Support for patients who are unable to undertake medical tourism is urgently needed. Furthermore, medical tourism for profitmaking purposes might have a negative impact on sustainable healthcare, which needs to be reconsidered. |

Result: |
The demographic characteristics of the participants are shown in Table 1. A total of 119,938 patients who visited SJH from January 2017 to September 2019 were included Of these, 48.12% were male, and the median age (25th, 75th centiles) was 52 years (36, 66). The most substantial proportion in consultation classification was “Revisit” (37.84%), and that in the next plan classification was “Consultation finish” (37.69%). Approximately 90% spoke the Khmer (Cambodian) language; this proportion was similar to the fact that approximately 90% of Cambodian residents and approximately 10% of foreigners comprise the total population. Only 2% of the patients used insurance, and the OOPP median (25th, 75th centiles] was 73.78 USD. |
