this picture show and beg for cambodia to build and expand hospitals all over cambodia. it's good to invest in your own people for the sake of nation development and more. there are always rooms for improvement; there's no such thing as too much for cambodia, the more the better. god bless cambodia.

cambodia is not really that poor, maybe cambodia is just lack of technology like most other countries on the planet have. you know, technological assistance is what cambodia really needs, i mean in all field such as agriculture, healthcare system, education, infrastructure building and maintainence, man-power training, etc... this is what leadership should be focusing on to develop cambodia. a nation can only be strong when its people are well-fed and well-trained. a bad example was the KR regime which starved its own people and not providing good healthcare system for its own people, etc..., so let that be a good example to avoid in at all cost for future cambodia to come. can't stress enough, the KR regime was total moron in leadership and how stupid could they be to starve and hurt their own people which is like a back-bone of the country. no wonder the vietcong can easily invaded cambodia for people were weak and dying from lack of healthcare and starvation and diseases, etc.,, to say the least. god, please punish the KR leadership for their cruel act.

As we continue to develop our rural area by expanding our reservoirs and irrigation systems, it will be inevitable for the mosquito population to increase significantly. Therefore, we need to invest in mosquito net, repellent, and environmental safe pesticides to minimize the impact of dengue fever.
