Relevant Cambodian authorities on Thursday rejected rumors of charging for HIV/AIDS treatment.
Teng Kunthy said that “Many treatment drugs will reach Cambodia by all supporters.”
Seth Ya, 30, an AIDS patient said that she feared hospital charges. “Both I and my husband are infected with HIV, but my children are not. Although my children are OK, we are very poor, so we do not have enough money to support them and take care of ourselves.”
Recently, Cambodian authorities have been supporting the family with money, rice, and zinc roofing, she added.
Others also denied that patients were charged.
Executive Director of the Urban Poor Women Development (UPWD) Sum Samon said that “The rumors will be the subject of a meeting.”
