1. Traditional medicine (TM) public service isn’t existing in Cambodia despite of existing abundant natural resource and well used by the people especially in the district area.

2. Not existing education system in country, opportunity to share the accurate information of TM with the people in community.

3. There is a risk of losing knowledge of medicinal plants that have been carried in from generation to generation into the community.
