Cambodian girl dies of H5N1

PHNOM PENH, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization announced Wednesday that an 11- year old girl from the eastern province of Kompong Cham has died of avian influenza H5N1.

A joint statement sent to the media said the 11-year old girl from Kbal Au Village, Steung Trang District, Kompong Cham province died on March 31 as a result of respiratory complications after contracting human avian influenza virus H5N1.

"The girl is the 14th person in Cambodia to become infected with the H5N1 virus and the tenth to die from complications of the disease," the statement said.


The patient became sick on March 22 and she was initially treated by local villagers with no effect and was admitted to a local hospital on March 29 before she was later on March 31 sent to a hospital in Siem Reap province where she died just four hours after admission.

"Avian influenza is still a threat to the health of Cambodians - - early identification of potential patients is the fastest way of ensuring they can have correct treatment," said Minister of Health Mam Bunheng.

"I urge communities to be on the look-out for respiratory infection with history of contact with dead or sick poultry to promptly seek medical attention at the nearest health facilities," he added.

Hun Sen did not build many modern and high-tech hospitals and medical schools or universities in Cambodia.

He just enjoy taking and keeping money he took and has been bribed from Cambodia. He is supposed to serve people when he wanted to be a PM of Cambodia. He was installed as a Prime Minister by Communist Vietnam Hanoi in 1985 after former PM Pen Sovan was ousted.

What is the world Hun Sen has been doing in Cambodia without transparency?

Hun Sen has been misled by Communist Vietnam Hanoi leader and Vietnamese/CPP members in Phnom Penh. Then, the people and country of Cambodia have been misled by Hun Sen for more than 30 years.

So, under the stinky leadership of Hun Sen, in the 21st century or in the modern day, Cambodia still does NOT have the following under Hun Sen's 30-years leadership and operation (controlled by his Vietnam Hanoi and CPP members):

1. modern and high-tech hospitals,
2. modern medical schools,
3. modern roads,
4. modern bridges,
5. big modern airports,
6. big modern seaports,
7. modern public health centers for poor people,
8. modern public transportation,
9. modern emergency ambulances,
10. modern police cars and equipments,
11. free enterprise,
12. freedom for every Cambodian citizen to express and bring the ideas and suggestions to rebuild Cambodia,
13. fitness centers,
14. more and so on...

Again, Hun Sen still dose not see how ugly is it under his leadership and operation are controlled by his Communist Vietnam Hanoi and Vietnamese/CPP members.

Cambodia is very rich with natural resources, rich cultures, and so on. The Cambodia have everything and why are Cambodian people still poor today and lack of food and lack of full access to health care and educations?

Cambodian has been under those Communist leaders coming from Vietnam since 1979 and there is nothing really developed in the modern day. It is very disappointing to Cambodian people. It is time for Cambodia to clean up those messes under Hun Sen, Vietnamese CPP members or leader in Phnom Penh and the control of Communist Vietnam Hanoi leaders.
