The Cambodia-China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital in Phnom Penh stands as a testament to the enduring partnership between Cambodia and China. Built with a grant from the Chinese government by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation, this modern medical facility is equipped with 400 beds and the latest high-tech medical equipment. Its inclusion of a traditional Chinese medicine department offers a blend of Eastern and Western medical practices to patients.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Cambodia, celebrated as the “China-Cambodia Friendship Year.” In recognition of this milestone, CGTN stringer Nan Fang visited the hospital to observe its operations firsthand. Dr. Koeurng Raksmiy shared insights into how the hospital’s services have significantly benefited Cambodians nationwide. He noted the growing appreciation for traditional Chinese medicine among the local population, highlighting the positive impact of cultural exchange on healthcare.
The hospital not only provides advanced medical care but also symbolizes the deepening ties between the two nations. As Cambodia continues to develop its healthcare infrastructure, collaborations like the Cambodia-China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital play a crucial role in improving the well-being of its people and strengthening regional connections.
