Abstract
Cambodia, one of the poorest countries in SE Asia, has some of the worst health indicators in the region as a consequence of more than 3 decades of conflict. Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation (MJP) is running an integrated community development programme in the rural northwest of Cambodia. Samlaut, with a population of approximately 5000, has been designated the first United Nations Millennium Village outside of Africa, due to its high rate of rural poverty. In order to meet the two Millennium Development Goals related to reducing child mortality and improving maternal health, MJP and the Cambodian government have partnered with the UK's National Health Service (NHS) as part of the UK's NHS commitment to developing Global Health Partnerships both to contribute to improving global health and to learn from the developing world
