Health Ministry acknowledges ‘complications’ in nod to CNM graft
The Ministry of Health this week called for closer oversight of contract employees and acknowledged “inappropriate phenomena” in paperwork filed by mid-level officials, an admission that comes just over a month after evidence came to light of widespread graft in Cambodia’s National Malaria Centre. The letter, signed by Health Minister Mam Bunheng, is addressed to heads of mid-level units, and notes that “the Ministry of Health has observed that there are some inappropriate phenomena and complications in the management of contract staffers at the stage of filing forms to serve as contract staff with health expertise”.
