The aim of her visit was to launch the Clinton Health Access Initiative new
Cambodia 3.0 Strategy, which aims to have zero new deaths, zero new

Yesterday she visited Cambodia's
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STDs (NCHADS), where she
praised the country for its efforts in fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Chelsea
met with some 50 NCHADS staff and then held a news conference where she
highlighted the progress made by the Cambodian authorities.
'I would like to thank Cambodia
for being an example and effectively a challenge to the rest of the
global community,' she said.
'I would also like to recognize Cambodia for not
mistaking progress for success and I think that is similarly a very real
and rare achievement, that Cambodia has come so far and it is still so
singularly focused on eliminating new HIV/AIDS cases by 2020 including
eliminating effectively mother to child transmission is remarkable,' she
told a news conference. Watch the video and see more pictures and read the full article here.
