As one of the five strategic areas of the Health Strategic Plan 2008-15 (HSSP2), health system service delivery “…supports the key output of the public and private health sector and is the means through which the ultimate outcomes of the HSSP2 will be achieved” (MOH 2008: 30). The goals of the health service delivery strategy are decentralised service delivery, improved quality in service delivery and management, promotion of effective public-private partnerships in service provision, and greater community engagement. Core inputs seen as necessary for health service delivery include financial resources, competent healthcare staff, adequate physical facilities and equipment, essential medicines and supplies, current clinical guidelines, and operational policies. This paper focuses on current research and suggests future directions for research that can help improve the organisation and quality of health service delivery in Cambodia.
