The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) in Cambodia was created in 2008 in accordance with the Law on the Social Security Schemes for Persons Defined by the Provisions of the Labour Law (promulgated by the Parliament in 2002). Since its inception, the NSSF has operated an Employment Injury Insurance scheme which collects a mandatory contribution from employers monthly for each employee of the enterprise based on the salary amount of the employee. In return, NSSF provides insurance coverage to employees where a set of benefits can be claimed in the event of work-related injury. Since November 2016, NSSF began rolling out the health insurance for private sector employees. Mandatory health insurance contribution is collected from employers and workers to fund the health services used by members at public facilities and some private facilities. The Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia through NSSF is continuously working on extending social health insurance coverage to more population groups, including the family dependents. Currently, around 3 million members have been covered by NSSF schemes.
