Stillbirths was a major issue and although still of concern Cambodia has achieved major progress in this area, and in maternal and child health more generally:
Big strides in Kingdom's stillbirth rate, Alessandro Marazzi Sassoon | Publication date 19 January 2016
Cambodia’s stillbirth rate was nearly halved in the past 15 years, one of the fastest rates of improvement in the world, according to new global data published today as part of a series of papers in The Lancet journal.
The Kingdom still ranks 101 among 195 countries surveyed, with a stillbirth rate of 11.9 deaths per 1,000 births in 2015 – with a stillbirth being defined by the WHO as foetal deaths in pregnancies lasting seven or more months.

Cambodia has made great strides in reducing maternal mortality, reducing it by %84 in 25 years. A declining maternal mortality rate, which was once amongst the highest in the world, has gained the kingdom’s midwives much respect in communities. But with the rate still higher than the regional average, authorities say the work cannot stop here, writes Rina Chandran. October 24, 2017
The Southeast Asian nation is one of only nine countries to have achieved the UN’s Millennium Development Goal to cut maternal death by at least 75 percent by 2015, having lowered its ratio by 84 percent between 1990 and 2015.
In 2005 Cambodia had a maternal mortality ratio of 472 deaths to every 100,000 live births, but by 2010 this had more than halved to 206 and is now 161, according to UN data.
This improvement came as Cambodia made more progress than about 60 other developing countries over
a 10-year period in increasing the poor’s access to skilled birth attendants, according to data from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
