Vann Nath, the former survivor of the Tuol Sleng jail, does not see his health improved by much even though he was discharged from hospital already. Vann Nath’s wife said that her husband cannot sleep and he cannot eat much either.
Vann Nath’s wife indicated on Saturday 15 May that she is still concerned about her husband’s heath . Kith Eng, Vann Nath’s wife, told RFI that, each day, her husband can only eat a small amount of porridge (bor-bor), and he cannot sleep either. These conditions made it such that her husband does not have strong health at all.
She added that she must take Vann Nath in for dialysis once a week at the Chea Sim dialysis center.
Last week, Vann Nath was sent to the Calmette hospital emergency because of his chronic disease. Vann Nath has been ill for many years already. He has kidney, stomach, intestine and pancreatic problems.
The 65-year-old Vann Nath is a surviving witness among a small group of surviving witnesses who escaped death from S-21 (Tuol Sleng) center. He is now old and faces several health problems.
In order to provide for the medical expense need for Vann Nath, the Bophana Center organized an art exhibit to sell 12 drawings by Vann Nath about his personal life under the KR regime. The exhibit was aimed at raising funds to help Vann Nath’s family.

This is the wrong hospital that he was admitted--in the first place. Remember that Puok Ah Yuon will gradually put this man to sleep. Nothing can save this poor man now.
I pray for his swift recovery--if it's not too late!
War is peace
