Original report from Phnom Penh
10 June 2008
Eight Vietnamese doctors from a Ho Chi Minh City hospital this week are treating young Cambodian polio patients at Phnom Penh Municipal Hospital, part of a privately sponsored, six-day program.
Vietnamese doctors have in the past come to Phnom Penh to treat eye patients, but this program, which will only serve children under the age of 16, is the first of its kind.
Dr. Le Duc To, of the Phueng Dung Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, said many Cambodians must travel to Vietnam for polio treatment. The work is aimed at helping people who can't raise the money to go to Vietnam.
Veng Thai, director the Phnom Penh health department, said the mission was important, to fulfill what Cambodian doctors lack.
About 190 people registered, but officials expect only 40 children will receive treatment.
This is the first such mission for polio, but five other groups of Vietnamese doctors have come in the past to provide eye care.
So Phea, a mother of a 10-year-old boy who received treatment Tuesday, said she believed that her son would get better now.
Her son has not been able to walk since he was born, and she said now she hopes he'll be able to now.
Another mother said her 14-year-old was down to his last hope; she has exhausted all treatments available in Phnom Penh.
The mission is sponsored by Vinh Tien Paper Corp., from Ho Chi Minh City, and another operation will be conducted in Siem Reap next year.

good to help your neighbor, however, just don't think khmer people are dumb enough to give more land or interest to the vietcong just because they help poor, disadvantaged khmer people. in other words, help in the name of humanitarian, but just no special favor or something on the expense of cambodia to the vietcong! be wary, cambodian people, don't repeat same old mistakes twice again. god bless cambodia.
It's another reflection of a shity shame of the Khmers who days and nights are busy biting one another like dogs. The Khmer brain is dull. It can't grow any knowledge but so wise in how to be corrupt and to plot a criminal act upon one another. The Khmer will live low and be harrassed from left and right. Sad to be Khmer.
Remember Chansy? Even Ah Hun Xen does not dare to get the faked eye from Vietname he take faked PHD instead!
His faked eyes is from JAPAN!
A hun Sen must verify this polio where is made, if it made from Yuon it may be from contamination area where the Chemical orange agent was used by US during the Viet.. war. The Cambodians Childrend are not kidney pigs; yuon childrend must deserved for that pupose. Go home Ah Yuon... 3:54AM you should say: Shameful to Ah HUN SEN, Sad to my Khmer inocents!..!..!God bless you all
There are good and bad Vietnamese just like anywhere else. But I believe that there are more bad Vietnamese with bad intention toward Cambodia. But before the Vietnamese dare to want to treat our polio infected kids in Cambodia, we should ask the Vietnamese goverment to treat our Khmer krom brothers more humanely first.
God blesses all Yuons!
And don't worried about Ah Khmer-Yuon. We'll take care of it.
Death to the stupid viet 1:42 PM. This toilet scum is persisting. It takes stronger chemical. Death to it and its root soon. This is Khmer domain, you T-scum.
1:42PM. GOD won't help or bless Youns, until Youn rise above Youn (parasites) to humans.
And GOD's secretary (Angels) will throw your prayers away because your English is sucked.
"Don't worry" not "don't worried".
