Fragmented care pathways for non-communicable disease in Cambodia: implications for people-centred and integrated health systems

Introduction

Low- and middle-income countries face major challenges in organising longitudinal care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In Cambodia, a pluralistic health system, weak primary care and limited coordination across providers contribute to fragmented care pathways. This study explores how patients and healthcare professionals experience NCDs management and how care is organised across public, private and community settings.
