A TEAM of 16 Chinese doctors practising traditional Chinese medicine came to Cambodia and treated more than 10,000 Cambodians for free to improve health care and help reduce the cost of treatment.
“A team of 16 doctors from Beijing, specialising in respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases and the digestive system, came here.
“The team checked and treated 12,000 people free of charge,” said China’s Consulate-General Liu Zhijie, as quoted by the Siem Reap Department of Information.
It said the team and the provincial health department provided free medical check-ups to more than 200 people from Siem Reap’s Svay Dangkum commune.
Siem Reap provincial health department deputy director Eap Bun Loeun said that thanks to the good cooperation between Cambodia and China, the provincial hospital was able to organise this humanitarian event and provide free medical consultations.
Bun Loeun thanked the Chinese and Cambodian doctors for their time and energy in providing free medical treatment to the people. — The Phnom Penh Post/ANN
