In 2018, Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE had the honor of treating nearly 50,000 patients.
One patient we met last year exemplified why our work is so important, and why we must continue to fund this life-saving health service. That patient is Ms. Thong, and your donation went to funding her treatment as well as the treatment of countless other Cambodians. Thong was shot by a Khmer Rouge soldier while planting rice in an attempt to feed her family. It was 1979, and after four years of genocide and near-starvation, Thong was desperate to survive. She did survive, but struggled for another 40 years to find a hospital that would remove the Khmer Rouge bullet from her hip.
Thank you for your continued support, and for your committment to changing even more lives in 2019.
