Williams concurred with the UK’s resolve to maintain its assistance for the healthcare industry through bilateral and multilateral channels, including the Global Fund, it was further stated.
Williams and the UK government’s help was warmly received by Bun Heng, who also noted that the UK has long given the Cambodian health sector, particularly its reform initiative, financial and technical support. The assistance was especially appreciated in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The UK gave Cambodia 415,000 doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in August 2021 as humanitarian aid during a trying time.
