Mam Bunheng

Mam Bunheng (; born 13 April 1949) is a Cambodian politician currently serving as the Minister of Health since 2008. Bunheng has been prominent in Cambodia's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As health minister

During his time as health minister, Bunheng wanted to be known as the "Minister of Midwifery." Since the late 2000s to early 2010s, birth-spacing has improved with more contraception and legal abortions, and some expectant mothers receive vouchers for delivering at health facilities due to government programs. According to the World Bank in 2014, health has not been a priority for the government of Cambodia, with only 6% of funding coming from the national government by 2010. Issues like rent-seeking and poorly qualified staff affected the health sector.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Cambodia, Bunheng thanked China for providing medical supplies to the country.
