University of Health Science

Originally established 1946, it was known as the School for Medical Officers. After a total abandonment during the Khmer Rouge regime, it resumed its ongoing medical training in 1980, and combined three sections in a single faculty (Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry). After having its name changed multiple times during throughout the years, it settled on the University of Health Sciences in 1997. It is famously known as Sala Krahom, which translates literally as Red School.
