Running for Ankor Childrens Hospital

Story

In 1995, driven by his memory of a little girl in Siem Reap who perished for lack of medical treatment, New York– based photographer Kenro Izu founded Friends Without a Border.

Four years later, on a two-acre lot in downtown Siem Reap, the group opened Angkor Hospital for Children, the first pediatric center ever built in that town or, quite possibly, in northern Cambodia.

Today, AHC, still tiny at only fifty beds, provides medical care almost entirely free to every child under fifteen who comes to its facility—an average of 350 a day.

Almost as impressive, it does so on a relatively small budget, $2 million a year, derived nearly exclusively from donations. 

Let's raise money for much needeed oxygen tanks - your donation means alot to me and the Angkor Hospital and can really make a difference.

Thanks guys, we are going to help make the lives of Cambodian children better than those of their parents.

Angkor Children's Hospital (Global Development Group - J563P)

Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) serves as the pediatric department for Siem Reap’s Provincial Hospital, but also treats children from neighboring provinces. Providing outpatient, inpatient, acute, emergency, surgical, low-acuity, dental and ophthalmologic care, AHC has treated almost 500,000 children since 1999. Currently the outpatient department sees 300-400 children each day and maintains 50 inpatient beds. Patients are asked to pay a nominal fixed fee per visit if they can afford to do so – all treatment and inpatient care is free of charge.

Intent on building Cambodian self-sufficiency, AHC strives to increase the number of properly trained healthcare professionals. AHC is an officially recognized teaching hospital. In cooperation with the Cambodian Ministry of Health, instruction is provided to government healthcare workers from health centers and hospitals through short and long-term training. AHC is a clinical training site for nursing students from all five of Cambodia’s regional training centers. The hospital is also a training site for the WHO-developed Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) training program.

Children with chronic health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, severe malnutrition and epilepsy require regular medical attention. To save children the often arduous journey to AHC and guarantee the follow-up care they need, AHC provides at-home visits through the Home Care Program.
 

Angkor Hospital for Children is proud to be a partner for Project J563P Angkor Children's Hospital with Global Development Group (ABN 57 102 400 993), an Australian AusAID approved Non Government Organisation carrying out quality humanitarian projects with approved partners and providing aid to relieve poverty and provide long term solutions.
