From Clinic to Community: Women’s Health Through a Global Lens Cambodian Study Tour is organized by Education at Sea, Nurses for Nurses Network (NFNN) and will be held from Jul 20 - 30, 2026 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Outline:
Synopsis:
This immersive nursing study tour explores the complex landscape of women’s health through a cross-cultural lens, focusing on the unique challenges and triumphs experienced by women in Cambodia. Over the course of the tour, participants will engage in site visits, community discussions, and comparative analysis of health systems and practices between Cambodia, Australia, and global standards.

From maternal health to mental well-being, gender-based violence to cancer prevention, participants will critically examine how social determinants, cultural beliefs, infrastructure, and policy shape the health outcomes of women in diverse settings. By connecting with local healthcare workers, NGOs, and communities, Australian nurses will deepen their understanding of global health disparities and their own role in advocacy, equity, and culturally safe care.

Women make up over 50% of the world’s population and have specific issues that impact their health and well-being. This is a conference for all nurses and midwives, irrespective of their practice area.
