There must, however, be more encompassing research in the context of Cambodia that will allow for greater interactions with implementing policy. Cambodia’s health system literature must be focused on knowledge translation and research must be expanded to incorporate local contexts and challenges. Using a knowledge translation framework, Ir, Bigdeli, Meessen & Van Damme (2010) suggest that knowledge translation is rarely a linear process and involves the interaction between wide ranges of partners.
Such classification methods are based on an assessment approach for health systems strengthening (Islam, 2007).
Despite these classifications, literature on the Cambodian health system is not well-defined in such boxes. Studies, interventions, and innovations that have been underway are multifaceted as the challenges faced by the Cambodian health system are complex and interdisciplinary. For example, innovations in health financing have significant impacts on governance, and issues faced in service delivery have been tackled though governance and financing interventions.
