Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper and People’s Hospital 115 of Ho Chi Minh City arrived in Chong Ka Nia Commune of Siem Reap District in Cambodia on Monday, to offer free medical check-ups, medicines and gifts to local residents of the commune.
The charitable mission was led by SGGP’s editor-in-chief Tran The Tuyen and the hospital’s director Phan Van Bau who arrived at the Vietnamese school, which looks after many disadvantaged children of the commune.
The mission aims to provide free medicines to more than 400 residents, most of who are suffering from malnutrition, intestinal problems, stomach diseases and body pains.
Doctors of the charitable mission team discovered many serious cases and asked them to take further treatment in larger hospitals in HCMC.
Reporting to the mission team, the principal of the Vietnamese school for disadvantaged children said the school is presently looking after and educating 340 children aged 6 to 17.
Majority of the needy children had to drop out of school to earn money. Accordingly, the mission will provide free medicines and donate 20,000 KHR (Cambodian Riel) to each resident.
As there is no medical clinic in the area, SGGP’s editor-in-chief and the hospital’s director decided to give away all the left over medicines to the school and planned to set up an infirmary there.
On behalf of the hospital, Bau gave VND3 million to buy a medicine cabinet and VND400,000 for opening of the infirmary. Moreover, the mission told local authorities to send people to study a medical course at the hospital in HCMC. The newspaper and the hospital will cover all expenses of training, daily living and travel for the students.
Over a period of 2 days the mission team covered poorer residents in two districts of Siem Reap and in Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia.
The team was geared to treat over 11,000 people during the two days. The newspaper, the hospital and the Vinagolf Angkor Tourism Joint Stock Company covered most of the expenses of the charitable mission.
