Original report from Phnom Penh

The US called on Cambodia to take measures to better provide health to women, an average five of whom die each day while giving birth.
The high maternal mortality rate goes with a high infant mortality rate, and the US called for serious action from the government and NGOs to help women.
“The Government of the United States of America takes great interest in women’s health and the Embassy commends all health organizations in Cambodia that are working to further women’s health in the country,” the embassy said in a statement, marking International Day of Action for Women’s Health.
“We believe that combining women’s empowerment with access to health services strengthens the individual and the family,” the embassy said.
Cambodia’s maternal mortality rates rank among the highest in Southeast Asia, resulting in about 2,000 deaths each year, the embassy said.
But midwives trained in recent years had helped reduce the rate.
“We take the today’s ‘call to action’ seriously and look forward to working with our partners in the Royal Government and in the NGO sector to continue helping women and their families in Cambodia,” the embassy said.

These Cambodian-American't women are running and stealing others' husband wildly in Long Beach, California. The Uninted States must not allow this kind of behavior; these women require behavior modification.

Thank you for your attention!.
Plaese don't allow hospital trainees to perfom the chidl labor.
Most of all hispitals in Cambodia
usually send the trainees to perform the chidl labor.
thank you american gov't and people for your care and concerns and look out for khmer women's rights and health, especially in childbirth. god bless the USA and cambodia.
i'm glad to know that the USA ignored the unruly people's comments here. some of these no good comments are from uneducated or angry individuals who probably had nothing better to do than sit and gossipping all day about this or that steal somebody's husband, wife, etc... just a soap opera, and they love it. thanks for ignore them. god bless the USA and cambodia.

Anything else you would like me to know before I go about my daily business?
I like to listen to people -- that's what I'm good at -- and I don't to dictate to others. Further, if I cannot clean my own shit, there's no assurance that I can clean yours -- that's fact not myth.
Until then, your comments are greatly welcome.
