US-Cambodian Doctors Make Trip To Phnom Penh

Men Kimseng, VOA Khmer
Washington, DC Friday, 24 December 2010
“I believe that both medical doctors and charitable contributors are showing their great affection toward their country.”
A group of US medical volunteers will travel to Cambodia next week to provide free medical care for Cambodians.


Tan Song, a doctor and president of the Cambodian Health Professionals Association, based in Long Beach, said more than 50 medical doctors and assistants will be working from Jan. 3 to Jan. 7 at a health centre outside of Phnom Penh.

“We will treat all Cambodians without discrimination,” Tan Song told VOA Khmer ahead of the trip. The service provided includes dental care and out-patient treatment.




“For serious illnesses, we will have to refer them to the hospital,” he said.

Tan Song, who survived the Khmer Rouge in Takeo province before moving to the US, said he wants to give something back to his native country.

“I believe that both medical doctors and charitable contributors are showing their great affection toward their country,” Cambodia’s ambassador to the US, Hem Heng, said. “This is testimony to the solidarity between Cambodians overseas and in the country.”

If the richest and developed countries
have their charitable
contributions to Cambodia like this,Cambodians said,"thank you so much".
Everyone wants to get healthy,not to get sick.
The healthy foods,
the healthy drink,
the healthy living,
the healthy air,and
environment are so
important in people
lives.
Thank you again USA
