NCHADS

What NCHADS does

NCHADS (National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD) is a government state entity under the Ministry of Health of Cambodia, headquartered at House 245H, Street 6A, Phum Kien Khleang, Sangkat Prek Lieb, Khan Chroy Changvar, Phnom Penh. It functions as the national designated coordinating body for HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infection, and dermatology control programs in Cambodia, organized into technical bureaus spanning HIV care, behavioral change communication, data management, logistics management, planning/monitoring/reporting, research, STI/RTI prevention, surveillance, voluntary confidential counseling and testing (VCCT), and procurement. With 46 headquarters staff, NCHADS coordinates a national network of HIV testing centers, ART treatment services, and STI treatment facilities across multiple provinces.

Its core service portfolio comprises VCCT-based HIV testing, HIV self-testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment, STI diagnosis and treatment, CAB-PrEP (long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis), cervical cancer screening for women living with HIV, harm reduction programs, and mental health integration. NCHADS publishes and maintains Standard Operating Procedures that govern each of these service lines and operates a national MPI data management system used by provincial HIV program officers. It also produces surveillance outputs including HIV prevalence surveys, antiretroviral drug resistance studies, and sexual behavior monitoring reports. The technology footprint is procedural and data-system based — built around SOPs, a centralized MPI data platform, and a document publication library — rather than a software product suite.

NCHADS is funded through Cambodian government budget allocations and international donor support. All clinical services are provided free of charge to patients. The institution sustains strategic partnerships with UNAIDS, WHO, US CDC, FHI 360, KHANA, AHF, CHAI, ITM, University of Health Science Cambodia, NIPH, and the National AIDS Authority. There is no commercial revenue model: NCHADS does not sell products, license technology, or charge users. Its "customers" in the operational sense are Cambodian PLHIV, key populations at risk, STI patients, and provincial health offices that depend on NCHADS for SOPs, data systems, training, and program coordination.
