In Cambodia, every year more
than 2,000 women die of complications
related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Most of these deaths can be prevented if women receive proper care. Good antenatal care can reduce many risks of death, sickness and disability for both mothers and infants. Therefore, it is important to increase attendance to antenatal care, especially through outreach activities.

The birth spacing policy is highly
placed on the agenda of the Royal
Government of Cambodia, because
birth spacing is not only important in
saving lives but also in improving
the health of mothers and children.

This article provides lessons learned on establishing effective community participation in two externally funded, NGO-implemented health projects working at district level in Cambodia. The first project was implemented in accordance with the Cambodian national guidelines on community participation. The second – using lessons and experiences gained as a result of the first project – worked with Buddhist pagoda volunteers. Primary research was conducted in both settings to assess the effectiveness of the two participation strategies. The article concludes that the success of community participation in externally funded health projects with relatively short implementation timeframes requires engagement with existing communitybased organizations and agencies. In Cambodia, where Theravada Buddhism is the dominant religion, pagodas and associated volunteers appear to represent such an organization. Community participation structured around pagoda volunteers – who are held in high esteem within their local communities – is more effective and sustainable than newly (and externally) established community structures with formally elected representatives. Pagodas and associated volunteers in rural Cambodia offer the advantages of effective leadership, local organization, resource mobilization and management. It is recommended that programmes and agencies wishing to adopt community participation strategies in health utilize participatory research to identify the most appropriate local organization to lead such initiatives.

IMCI focuses on the well being of the child as a whole, it does not deal only with one disease. IMCI both prevents and cures disease. It brings together all that can be done to improve children's health in a practical and efficient way. IMCI is a strategy for children under 5 years of age that aims to:
· Reduce death, illness and disability;
· Promote improved growth and development.

This study projected costs of scaling up government health services to achieve improved health status of the poor and undeserved segments of the Cambodia population.
Three main types of interventions were explored: two alternative interventions for improving the quality of health services, three interventions that improve access to services by the poor, and twelve that target health problems that burden the poor relatively more.
Total and marginal unit costs per capita were estimated by reviewing existing studies of interventions in Cambodia and in other countries with similar health and socioeconomic environments. Where it was relevant, previous efforts to cost interventions and programs were reviewed in detail and some data extrapolated from these.

We need different types of nutrients. No one food provides all the nutrients needed to be healthy and different foods produce different nutrients. This is why we have to get a variety of
foods every day. Moreover, the amount and type of nutrients we need depend upon whether we are young or old, male or female, sick or healthy and whether we do a lot of physical work or not.

These lessons are meant to be a guide for you to use when teaching in the community. Using group discussion, pictures, short stories and demonstrations, these lessons help you teach in a participatory style rather than using lecture style.
