Health Minister Leads Delegation to 77th WHO Western Pacific Regional Meeting

PHNOM PENH, October 19, 2026 – Health Minister Chheang Ra has led a Ministry of Health delegation to the 77th session of the World Health Organization Regional Committee for the Western Pacific, held in Manila, Philippines.

The opening ceremony took place on Monday morning under the theme "Weaving Health for All," bringing together health ministers and senior officials from across the region.

Representatives from 38 member states and territories—including Cambodia—are meeting to review regional and country-level progress on health priorities, share lessons learned from recent public health challenges, and set strategic directions for the years ahead.

The annual gathering also serves as a platform to address common challenges at both regional and national levels, and to approve a three-year budget plan for 2027 to 2029 covering the regional office and member countries.

Cambodia's participation underscores the Kingdom's continued engagement with regional health cooperation and its commitment to strengthening public health systems at home and across the Western Pacific.
