On 16 May, the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh discharged the last COVID-19 patient in Cambodia, officially making the country free of any active cases to date.
The recovered patient was a 36-year-old woman from Banteay Meanchey province who tested positive for the virus on 28 March. On 8 May, she was transferred to the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in the capital to receive further treatment.
WHO Cambodia has worked closely with the Ministry of Health to support Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital, along with other health facilities in Cambodia, over the last few months to prepare for and respond to COVID-19 cases.
