Background
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) administers contributory social security benefits, including member health coverage, for registered workers under Cambodia’s social protection framework.
The NSSF has agreed to implement a 14-month pilot digital NCD prevention project covering 15,000 members, scheduled from November 2026 to December 2027, to assess effectiveness before possible formal rollout.
The pilot project will test a digital health intervention intended to identify and manage chronic non-communicable conditions among members in high-density areas; a technical working group composed of physicians and policy specialists will prepare detailed operational plans in partnership with Common Health Corporation. The initiative aims to measure whether early digital interventions can limit progression to severe NCD outcomes and inform adjustments to member health coverage and service delivery models.
Key Developments
On 23 June 2026, NSSF Deputy Director Khun Channarith met with representatives of Common Health Corporation at the NSSF headquarters to discuss the pilot design and cooperation arrangements. The NSSF designated an internal technical team to work closely with Common Health Corporation on the pilot.
Operational Implications
The pilot targets 15,000 NSSF members with chronic but non-severe NCDs in densely populated areas; the NSSF intends to use pilot findings to evaluate scalability and budgetary implications for broader member coverage. Project documentation indicates the pilot will produce a detailed implementation plan and performance evaluation to guide any subsequent policy or operational changes.
