Since 1999, Angkor Hospital for Children has provided over 1,000,000 medical treatments, education to thousands of Cambodian health workers and prevention training to hundreds of families. The hospital offers inpatient and outpatient care, surgical services (including heart-surgery), ER, intensive care treatment, dental care, ophthalmologic services and antiretroviral HIV therapy to over 150,000 children each year. The hospital also has a pharmacy, physiotherapy and radiology services, a medical laboratory, and a social work program.
Along with providing quality health care, AHC is a training site for improving the skills of health care workers. In 2005 it was officially recognized as Cambodia’s first teaching hospital, one of only two in the country. It serves as a training site for the WHO-developed Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) training program.
Angkor Hospital for Children was previously funded by Friends Without A Border and through direct contributions.
Supported by donors based in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America, AHC is an independent non-profit foundation. In 2013 Angkor Hospital for Children became an international NGO incorporated in Hong Kong, the USA and Cambodia with an international Board of Directors overseeing a largely Cambodian management team.
