Your gift of antibiotics is helping patients at the Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE in Cambodia.
Our patient, Koemly, 49, came to our hospital after experiencing symptoms for 3 months. He had a fever, and was experiencing headaches, weight loss and shortness of breath. Before arriving at our hospital, Koemly had sought care close to his home village in provincial Cambodia, but after a month, his health had not improved and he travelled to our hospital for further treatment. Our doctor explains that delayed treatment is a common challenge in Cambodia: ‘Our patients often arrive with an advanced health conditions and we need to treat most of them with antibiotics. Unfortunately, high-quality medicines are expensive here.’
Your donation through Global Giving helped us to exceed our intial campaign goal and provide antibiotic treatments to patients like Koemly. Koemly has now received free care from our experienced medical team, and his symptoms are being actively managed with high-quality medicines. ‘Thank you to the hospital and donors who support free care to the poor in Cambodia,’ he said.
The Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE also says thank you. Your generosity helped us to exceed our campaign goal and now we are aiming even higher. You can help us to reach our new goal and treat more patients by visiting our campaign page here: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/antibiotics-for-poor-cambodian-people/.
