King Sihanouk Hospital
Gail and I visited the King Sihanouk Hospital in Phnom Penh recently. Dr. Gary Jacques is the Executive Director of the hospital. He spent several hours talking with us about health care in Cambodia. The hospital is under the oversight of Hope Worldwide which is an Independent Church of Christ outreach.
When we left we were very impressed with the magnitude of the operation. They employ over 400 employees and have around 60 MD’s on staff. The hospital serves as a sort of residency for many Cambodian doctors and treats hundreds of patients per day free of charge. It made our boat project seem small in comparison!
Dr Jacques had several good suggestions for treating the people in rural areas of the country. He also will be a great source for future staffing needs for our project. He and his wife and 2 children, ages 11 and 13, have lived here for four years and plan to continue for many months to come. To say the least, we were both impressed to find others so committed to helping the poor and sick of Cambodia.
