National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) wishes to become a vibrant academic institution providing high quality, professional, and impactful public health teaching and training, strengthening capacity of medical laboratory services, and health systems research and policy support.

NIPH is an academic representative of the Ministry of Health which has a broad public health mandate to improve health of the Cambodian people. This broad public health mandate includes a number of duties as stipulated in the sub-decree No. 232 A-NK/PK issued on 27 December 2019 on the establishment of NIPH as a public administrative institution. In order to achieve its mandate, NIPH will transform its staff into leaders, each with particular professional skills and core values, so that they can enable the growth of themselves and others.

Inspired by the vision, NIPH is committed to fulfil its mission by highly valuing:

1. Quality: NIPH staff should try their best to ensure that their work, services and products have acceptable quality, which should not be compromised by other reasons, such as workload or urgency;

2. Teamwork: NIPH staff must effectively work as team to achieve team results through transparency, morality, good communications, mutual respect (in terms of seniority), active participation with creativity and innovation;

3. NIPH identity: NIPH staff must work primarily for a good name and benefits of NIPH, NOT theirs; and

4. Staff-centered: NIPH places staff health and wellbeing at the center of its work, and development and progress of NIPH must be associated with their benefits (health and wellbeing) of NIPH staff.
