• A journalist asked me that in the past, both civil society organizations and some government officials have often disagreed on the standards of human rights practice in Cambodia.

Article 31 of the Constitution, the Kingdom of Cambodia recognizes and respects human rights as enshrined in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its conventions and conventions on human rights. Women’s rights and children’s rights. Therefore, execution contrary to this supreme law is not right.

Top 10 Advances of NSSF for Employers: Transforming Healthcare and Social Security in Cambodia

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) in Cambodia has been making significant strides in enhancing the healthcare and social security services available to its members. The recent agreement signed by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training with over 1,570 partner health facilities marks a transformative moment for Cambodia’s healthcare landscape. This blog post explores the top ten advances of the NSSF, highlighting how these developments benefit employers, employees, and the healthcare system at large.

1. Expanded Network of Partner Health Facilities

As of August 18, 2024, the NSSF has signed agreements with 1,573 health facilities across Cambodia, including 1,420 public health centers and 153 private clinics. This extensive network ensures that NSSF members have access to quality healthcare services throughout the nation. Employers benefit from this expansion as it guarantees that their employees can receive medical attention close to their homes or workplaces, reducing downtime and promoting a healthier workforce.

2. Comprehensive Coverage for Medical Expenses

One of the most significant advances is the comprehensive coverage provided by the NSSF. Members can now seek medical consultation and treatment at all partner hospitals without worrying about the cost. This includes coverage for hospital stays, surgeries, and other medical procedures. For employers, this translates into reduced absenteeism and increased productivity as employees are assured of receiving necessary medical care without financial strain.

3. Enhanced Prenatal and Postpartum Care

The NSSF has introduced improved maternity benefits, including coverage for prenatal and postpartum healthcare. This includes maternity fees with a daily allowance of 70% of the daily contribution for up to 90 days, as well as additional subsidies. Employers can support their employees better by ensuring that their female workforce receives adequate care during and after pregnancy, promoting overall well-being and job satisfaction.

4. Emergency Services and Accident Coverage

In the unfortunate event of workplace accidents or fatalities, the NSSF provides emergency services, treatment, and care. The fund covers medical expenses and offers financial assistance to the affected individuals and their families. For employers, this means a more robust safety net for employees, reducing the impact of workplace accidents on both the individuals and the business.

5. Development of a Digital Health Information System

The NSSF is investing in a new digital platform that facilitates the management of healthcare services. This system allows physicians at partner facilities to verify NSSF memberships quickly and securely. It also enables the entry of necessary data for medical service payments. For employers, this digital advancement ensures a streamlined process for accessing and managing healthcare services, minimizing administrative burdens.

6. Increased Transparency and Efficiency

The integration of the digital health information system enhances transparency and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services. This system reduces paperwork, speeds up the processing of medical claims, and provides real-time updates on the status of services. Employers benefit from this improved efficiency as it leads to faster resolution of healthcare-related issues and better management of employee health benefits.

7. Improved Access to Specialized Care

With the growing network of partner health facilities, NSSF members have better access to specialized medical care. This includes consultations with specialists, advanced diagnostic services, and specialized treatments. Employers can be assured that their employees have access to comprehensive medical care, which is crucial for managing complex health conditions and ensuring overall well-being.

8. Enhanced Support for Healthcare Providers

The NSSF’s new system also supports healthcare providers by simplifying the process of verifying memberships and processing payments. This reduces the administrative workload for healthcare facilities and improves their ability to provide timely care. For employers, this translates into a more efficient healthcare system, with less red tape and quicker access to medical services for their employees.

9. Promoting Health and Safety in the Workplace

By offering extensive coverage and support through the NSSF, employers can foster a culture of health and safety in the workplace. The availability of comprehensive medical care and emergency services encourages employees to seek timely medical attention and adhere to safety protocols. This proactive approach to health and safety helps reduce workplace injuries and promotes a healthier work environment.

10. Ongoing Development and Improvement

The NSSF is committed to continuous improvement, as evidenced by the development of the digital health information system and ongoing efforts to expand its network of partner facilities. This dedication to progress ensures that the NSSF remains responsive to the needs of its members and healthcare providers. Employers benefit from this commitment to innovation as it leads to enhanced services and a more effective social security system.

Conclusion

The recent advancements in the National Social Security Fund represent a significant leap forward for healthcare and social security in Cambodia. With an expanded network of partner health facilities, comprehensive coverage, and the introduction of a digital health information system, the NSSF is setting new standards for employee care and benefits. These developments not only enhance the quality of healthcare available to members but also offer substantial benefits to employers by improving access to medical services, increasing efficiency, and promoting a healthier workforce.

As the NSSF continues to evolve and expand its services, employers can look forward to even greater support and enhancements in the future.

It’s time to put an end to the long debate Flutter vs PWA vs Native. The Winner is PWA !

Having seen both sides of creating apps via PWA, Flutter, Native & Hybrid apps for over 4 years I can confidently say PWA is “THE FUTURE“.

Why is PWA so much better than any other technolgy. Why should you go for PWA and not for once think about anything else.

Simplicity

Creating PWA is so simple and easy. If you understand the basics and creating a PWA is really simple, but you have to take care to design your PWA properly, just the hacky stuff that some of the WordPress.org plugins claim to create every site a PWA.

PWA can be created in as less than 10-200 line of Code even for the most complex apps ! Our Learning management system PWA code is less than 200 lines and it is full featured with inbuilt Content Editor , Video recorded and Artifical intelligence.

Compare with Flutter / Native / Hybrid apps, 200 lines is a clear winner. You save time, money and a lot of mind trouble.

Single Code base for Web + Mobile + TV

Your web and apps share the same code base. Maintaining 2 projects for same thing is a PITA for every developer. Next comes the development overhead, you create a Feature A in web and now you need to create it for the Apps.

Native apps: you have to create it both for android and ios.

Flutter / React Native, you re-write code then compile and release. For flutter you have to learn DART language as well ( learning new language just for creating app and tomorrow Google invests in another project what then ? ).

Not just FAST , Blazing fast

PWA is blazing fast. Faster than Native and definitely Flutter. The main thing is that when you create a PWA you focus on 1 element, that PWA should load fast on web and all platforms. Designing PWA involves strategies to make it load fast.

Native app developers claim native is faster than PWA sure it is faster by 10ms ( less than a blink of the eye ).

Common Sense : Any app which pulls data from a server via REST API will have the same lag that is involved in downloading data from the server. Once the data is downloaded from the server (2-300ms), the native app renders in 30ms and PWA in 50ms. Now question is are you willing to spend $2000+ to save those 20ms ? Or put those $2000 in marketing or new feature.

Offline View : For Flutter and React native you do almost equal ( >= ) amount of work and create strategies to make then load fast and store content for offline view. With PWA you do that work once so this is half the work. Native is not in the competition here.

Conversion to Apps & publish on App Stores.

PWAs can be easily converted into apps for both iOS , Android, Microsoft, Samsung. For Mobile, tablets and Desktops. Further, PWAs can be published on app stores with much ease. The PWABuilder tool from microsoft directly converts PWA into mobile apps ready to be published on app stores.

With PWA you really do not need to upload on App stores, if you say it improves traffic or viewership then you are wrong. Studies have revealed that an App on App store does not bring in more traffic or give additional exposure. If it is brand value you are after PWA can also give you mobile apps.

Maintenance & Updates.

Honestly not many business think about this, they fall into the trap of building an over expensive app, along with a service provider who charges exorbitantly on app maintenance. Few years later you realise, you have invested so much on the damn project that you are actually making a loss by choosing the wrong technology & provider.

What if a bug appears, you will need to contact both App and web teams to follow up and implement fixes.

Feature : Feature is developed once in PWA and is available in all platforms at once including the web.

While for PWA all App + web infrastructure and traffic is same , for other Native/Hybrid you have to maintain your traffic in 2 different categories : App traffic, Web traffic. Maintain different bug logs, different projects , feature lists, releases and the list goes on and on. Sooner of later you are bound to get headaches and

Scalability

This part is about load & traffic, PWA optimises the traffic load between the browser and the server. No other technology does that.

When your app really starts attracting more and more traffic, you would need additional infrastructure for the App.

Sure there are uber-expensive scalable options on the server infrastructure but not everyone can afford it and actually it does not make any sense as well when you compare with a PWA.

A PWA never goes down even when your server does, even when your internet does. It saves the responses and posts when the server and internet is back online. Now that scalability you can not afford.

Conclusion

IF you are planning to create a project for Web or App, where the majority content is to be loaded from a server via REST API / GraphQL it totally makes sense to use a PWA and not save additional resources on Server or developement of native apps. Think about How much you can save and use it in marketing and sales to boost your product.
