PHNOM PENH, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday instructed the ministry of health to consider the establishment of a health reserve fund for poor patients.
"The would-be fund should be supervised by the ministry of health and allocated to all hospitals for reservations in case that the poor patients cannot afford to pay medical services, the hospitals can withdraw money from the fund to cover them," he said during a graduation ceremony at the Technical School of Medicine.
"I believe that if such fund is established, it will help reduce the carelessness of health officials on poor patients."
Cambodia's health sector has been criticized for years for money-minded health officials and medical practitioners.
The premier said that some hospitals, especially private clinics, always do not provide medical treatment to the patients that they supposed they do not have money to pay the medical fees.
He also appealed to all health officials and medical practitioners to think about the "treatment first", not to think about "money first".

thank you, mr. prime minister for doing so. i think cambodia need to look into creating a social services agency or a human services agency to help the poor, the handicapped, the disadvantaged, etc, etc... it's a start in the right direction, i believe. please keep doing good work for cambodia and khmer people will love you forever, really!
i hope gov't will create a welfare system for the poor, etc, in cambodia. right now, we lack this system to help people, you know! i think it will create jobs for social services and human services jobs in cambodia in the future when gov't put in place a cambodian welfare system run by the state, etc, you know! cambodia and khmer people in the provinces can use this system to help them get on their feet and more, really!
