King-Father hospitalized in Beijing

Translated from French by Luc Sâr

Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia

Beijing, P.R. of China, (Wednesday) 31 December 2008

I have the honor to announce the following to my beloved Compatriots:

1- I was hospitalized on Tuesday 30 December 2008 from 8:30AM.

My eminent (Gentlemen and Ladies) PRC doctors and distinguished nurses have devoted their body and soul to care for me and to medically save me.

At the hospital, I was subjected to blood sampling, injections, chemotherapy, anti-cancer perfusion (7-hour long for the anti-cancer perfusion). PRC VIP doctors insisted on consciously looking into my case and on visiting me twice, once on 30 December and once the following day, and they participated to the medical care provided to me.

2- These medical cares continued on to Wednesday 31 December 2008, up until 5:00PM.

3- At 5:00PM on this 31 December 2008, I am back at the Khmer Royal Residence in Beijing. The lofty PRC medicine gave me very precious pills that replace 5 days of anti-cancer (chemotherapy) treatment at home out of 7 days of treatment at the hospital, therefore, there will be “chemotherapy through pills,” this does not exclude the frequent visits of my usual PRC doctor to my Beijing residence. On each Tuesday and each Wednesday to come, I will receive care at the great Beijing State Central Hospital. And this will go on until my complete cure.

With my deepest and faithful affection.

PS: 7 days a week, I must take various medicines.
