RESUMO
The educational system and the introduction of legislation of clinical medicine are both still in developing stage in Cambodia where only 10 years have passed since the establishment of a new government. In order to maintain good health of all Cambodian citizens and to improve the quality of care in health services, it should be necessary to implement an appropriate educational system for both laboratory technologists and technicians. To conduct refreshment training course for laboratory workers with provision of the instruments, material and reagents is another way to make improvement of it in public hospitals. It should be also required to overcome economic problems how to absorb medical expense and to understand the importance for doctors to diagnose with scientific data of clinical examinations. Maturation of the total medical system in this country should be necessary and suggestions from neighboring countries with views toward the world standard would be expected.
