2002年，柬埔寨卫生部启动了一项驱虫方案，每年两次向75%的学童提供驱虫药（甲苯咪唑500毫克）和健康教育。柬埔寨的在校人口约为280万。驱虫方案分为两个阶段：第一阶段（2002年12月至2003年3月）针对11个省的100多万在校儿童;第二阶段（2003年7月至2004年1月）针对所有在校学生。在第一阶段，每个儿童的治疗费用为12美分（0.11美元），第二阶段为6美分，在第二次开展运动的地区，再治疗费用为3美分。柬埔寨的经验表明，只要有政治承诺，即使在一个资源极少的国家，也可以实现驱虫的高覆盖率。柬埔寨的驱虫方案为其他发展中国家树立了成功的榜样。(c)2005年皇家热带医学和卫生学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
In 2002, Cambodia's Ministry of Health launched a deworming programme to deliver an anthelmintic drug (mebendazole 500 mg) and health education to 75% of its school children twice a year. Cambodia's school population is approximately 2.8 million. The deworming programme was organized into two phases: the first phase (December 2002-March 2003) targeted more than one million school children from 11 provinces; and the second phase (July 2003-January 2004) targeted the entire school population. The cost to treat each child was 12 cents (0.11 USD) during the first phase, 6 cents during the second phase, and 3 cents for retreatment in areas where the campaign was conducted for the second time. The Cambodian experience demonstrates that, with political commitment, high coverage for deworming is achievable even in a country with minimal resources. Cambodia's deworming programme represents a successful model for other developing countries. (c) 2005 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
