In about two dozens countries, including Cambodia, at least 40% of these children are moderately or severely stunted. Child health, or lack of it, as reflected in stunting, underweight, wasting, and low Body Mass Index (BMI), is mostly the result of malnutrition, which continues to be one of the biggest challenges in socioeconomic development. Maternal and child malnutrition is the primary underlying cause of 3.5 million deaths globally, and notably affecting children under five years old in developing countries. For almost half a century, Cambodia suffered through a series of foreign occupation, civil wars, political instability, and genocide. As a result, socioeconomic development of Cambodia has been facing many challenges, and the population has suffered from a deteriorated state of health and well-being, especially among women and children. By the late 1980s Cambodia recorded some of the worst health indicators in the world with a high infant mortality rate (IMR) of 131 and a high maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 440. Since then, gradual progress has been made, and by 2010, IMR stood at 34 and MMR at 250. Health services were scattered geographically over Cambodia as the country began to return to relative stability. These services were available first in urban areas and some refugee camps; however rural areas and infighting areas remained critically underserved. This paper briefly reviews the current status of child health and malnutrition in the developing world and in details for Cambodia. In addition, using the 2010 Cambodia Demographic and Health Surveys, this paper demonstrates significant associations between child health and selected socioeconomic indicators reaffirming the importance of economic and social development in the advancement of child health.
