The World Bank says it supports implementation of Cambodia's new Health Strategic Plan.
The plan aims to improve healthcare and preventive health with particular emphasis on women, children and the poor.
The bank's office in Phnom Penh says it will give Cambodia's government a 30 million US dollar credit to support the program from this year to 2015.
The other donors include, Australia, Britain, the U.N.and France.
Cambodias's secretary of state at the Ministry of Health, Eng Huot, says there have been improvements in the health of Cambodians over the past decade.
However, several challenges remain, including a high rate of women dying in childbirth, poor nutrition, high healthcare costs and the rise of non-infectious diseases.
