WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE MARATHON FUNDRAISER FOR ANGKOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN CAMBODIA
You are invited to join with us in our run for raising funds and awareness for the Angkor Hospital for Children that saves children with chronic health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, severe malnutrition, pneumonia, epilepsy, juvenile diabetes and numerous paediatric eye problems.
We aim to raise $3,000 which will support the hospital’s oxygen needs for three months. As pneumonias and respiratory ailments remain as the most common killer of children in Cambodia. Patients heavily rely on oxygen, and this free hospital uses around 225 tanks per month.
Unfortunately, the children suffer greatest from poverty, and in Cambodia one in seven will die before their fifth birthday – largely due to preventable causes. Medical infrastructure is especially weak with only 30 Cambodian doctors to serve every 100,000 people.

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.
Global Development Group takes responsibility of the project according to AusAID rules providing a governance role and assisting in the areas of planning, monitoring, evaluating and auditing to ensure the projects are carried out to AusAID requirements. If projects are overfunded, funds may be directed towards other approved project activities. Please note that no non-development (evangelistic, political or welfare) activities are funded by any of these projects. For more information please visit www.globaldevelopment.org.au
