Dr Sachiko Ozawa from JHSPH presents recent findings from a study on trust in health systems and injection rates in Cambodia to the Health System Reform in Asia conference in Hong Kong in December 2012. She notes that the average Cambodian receives six injections/year, and that trained medical practitioners often feel pressure to give shots and IVs as patients will often turn to informal providers if they don't.
