Based on the given site, there is data on all type of chronic conditions. However, back pain account for 1.4M (out of 16pop). Based on WHO Cambodia report 2019, 4 NDCs (cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and chronic respiratory disease) cause 2/3 of all death in the country.

Cambodia Demographic Heath Survey 2021-2022 found disability prevalence is around 25%.

Road accident injuries is 12 daily or 4380 in 2023. However, death is 1980 in the same year. This is government report and is tended to be under report.
