Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Health care, pediatric treatment and community outreach

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) serves as the paediatric department for Siem Reap’s Provincial Hospital, but also treats children from neighboring provinces. Providing outpatient, inpatient, acute, emergency, surgical, low-acuity, dental and ophthalmologic care, AHC has treated almost 500,000 children since 1999. Currently the outpatient department sees 300-400 children each day and maintains 50 inpatient beds. Patients are asked to pay a nominal fixed fee per visit if they can afford to do so – all treatment and inpatient care is free of charge.
