Organization For Speech and Swallowing Therapy Cambodia

Speech and Swallowing Therapy Cambodia (SSTC) educates, empowers and advocates for healthcare professionals and organizations to provide quality care for people with swallowing difficulties. The organization is a Cambodian-registered NGO that was established in 2016.

Our vision is for a healthier Cambodia where everyone has access to lifechanging speech and swallowing therapy services. Our mission is to train clinicians in the treatment of swallowing difficulties, empowering them to deliver and advocate for high-quality services that improve the quality of life for people with swallowing difficulties.

Our core values guide the behavior, decisions, culture and people within our organization:

• Empowerment: We provide people with the tools, resources and support they need to empower and locally lead themselves to deliver quality treatment for swallowing difficulties.
• Equity: We advocate that all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances, have equal access to quality services for swallowing difficulties.
• Empathy: We create a safe, nurturing and culturally appropriate environment where those we interact with feel heard, valued, and respected.
• Collaboration: We build strong partnerships with healthcare providers, educational institutions, community organizations and government leaders to advance the management of swallowing difficulties.
• Continued Learning: We foster a learning environment where people are encouraged to exchange knowledge, best practices and latest research to improve services.
