PHNOM PENH — Nine Vietnamese military physicians and a businessman have been awarded the Friendship Order by the Cambodian Royal Government for their assistance to the poor in Cambodia.
The Cambodian Government conferred the Friendship Order, Senna Class, on Nguyen Phuc Quoc, Nguyen Van Binh and Nguyen Van Hoang Dao from Military Hospital 175 and Tran Thi Phuong Thu from the HCM City Eye Hospital, in a ceremony in Phnom Penh on Sunday.
It also presented the Friendship Order, Assarat Class, to other doctors from the two hospitals and to Le Hong Lam, director of the Viet Nam Development Co Ltd, which has been a major humanitarian donor for health care in Cambodia.
Since 2007, Military Hospital 175 and HCM City Eye Hospital have sent several teams of professionals to Cambodia to provide checks-up and treatment to the poor, in co-operation with Cambodia’s Preah Kat Mealea Military Hospital.
The programme has so far brought light to over 700 eye patients and provided medicine and treatment to nearly 1,000 others. On April 3-4 alone, doctors from the two Vietnamese hospitals provided health checks and medicines to 300 people and conducted 134 eye surgeries.
