UP is heavily involved in developing Covid-19 guidelines for Dental Clinics in Cambodia. Represented on the MOH committee were Professor Callum Durward and Assistant Professor Soeun Sopharith, along with representatives from the Ministry Of Health (MOH), the Dental Council, the Cambodian Dental Association, the University of Health Sciences and two hospitals. UP was able to contribute significantly to the drafting of the final document.
The new manual was signed off last week by the Minister of Health, HE Mam Bunheng, and printed copies will be sent to all dental providers. UP’s own guidelines are of a high standard so were already very much in line with the new national guidelines, so few changes are needed in order for UP to conform. Dr. Bich Sothea and Dr. Horn Sereybot are responsible for implementing the guidelines in the Dental Clinic and this week will undertake training of dental students and staff to ensure everyone understands what is required.
UP Dental Clinic is one of the safest places to receive dental treatment in Cambodia.
