SihanoukVille Hospital

"Muntee Pet Jumka Jake" or the Banana Farm Hospital. Located in Sihanoukville, Cambodia on Ekareach Street between downtown and Ocheteaul Beach.

Where it all happens!

The SihanoukVille Hospital is the largest hospital complex in Southern Cambodia. The Hospital hosts a collection of clinics for most medical needs.

These clinics cover Ophthalmology, AIDs, Maternity, General Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, X-Rays, and Artificial LImb replacement. Also, Pharmacy, Labs, and Ambulance services are available at the Hospital.

The hospital is continually undergoing renovation and expansion. Services are improving slowly, and as the town of Sihanoukville grows, so do the demands on the hospital.

The Staff

The Sihanouk Ville Hospital is a public, government supported institution. Part of the operations and staff are also funded by The United Nations, Red Cross, NGO's, and foreign governments.

The Patients

The Patients at The Sihanouk Ville Hospital come mostly from Kompong Som Province. For the Cambodian Trust Artificial Limb Lab, the patients come from all over Southern Cambodia. Many of the services are free, and the rest are subsidized by the Cambodian Government.

KANTHA BOPHA Children's Hospital, Cambodia

Since 1991, Dr. med. Beat Richner, a Swiss pediatrician and musician, built four hospitals and a maternity ward for HIV positive mothers in Cambodia.
In the four hospitals, Kantha Bopha I, Kantha Bopha II and Kantha Bopha IV in Phnom Penh and Jayavarman VII in Siem Reap Angkor, each year 75'000 children are hospitalized (the average length of hospitalisation is 5 days), 800'000 ill children receive treatment in the outpatients department, 400'000 healthy children get vaccinated, 16'000 chirurgical operations are executed, 12'000 birth in the maternity (designed to prevent mother-to-child AIDS and TB transmission) and daily 3'000 families receive health care education. All medical services are free of charge since the families in Cambodia are simply too poor to even make a small contribution towards these medical costs. Without Kantha Bopha, 3'200 additional children would die in Cambodia every month.
