Angkor Children's Hospital, Siem Reap - February 2003 |
|
|
|
I visted the Angkor Children's Hospital while I was in Siem Reap (the city nearest Angkor). It was a sobering experience. Hospitals like this rely heavily upon foreign volunteers and donations to provide services. Accidental cooking-fire burns, malaria, and congenital defects, are just a few of the things they treat here. |

Mothers and children are triaged in the waiting room of the hospital. No shoes are allowed. |

The portraits of King Norodom Sihanouk and his wife hang throughout the hospital. He abdicated the throne the following year I was there. |

The surgical schedule is dominated by burn and wound treatment. |

This is one of the wards in the hospital. It is sparse, but comfortable. |

Malaria is a major killer and a pint of blood can help save a child's life. I gave up some B-Positive and got a really cool t-shirt and a juicebox. |

These get-well cards (along with donation money) came from grade-school kids from a small town in Oregon. |

This is the birth and delivery room of the clinic. It's quite bare and the electricity was provided by a car battery. |

This is a poster outside the Bantay Srei Health Clinic that I toured. This facility is mostly geared towards treated rural OB/GYN issues. |
