As Cambodia emerges from the devastation and genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime, many of its resilient and hard working people still live at a level of poverty that is hard for people in the First World to comprehend. The Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE opened its doors there in 1996 as a training center for medical professionals while providing 24-hour health care to thousands who are medically under-served.
More than half of the patients at the SHCH live on less than one dollar a day. Thankfully, services at the SHCH have always been provided entirely free of charge. For this reason the people of Cambodia refer to the SHCH as the "Angel Hospital", and as "a place where a person can receive a new life".
The miracles that happen at the SHCH are only possible because of the support that is provided by people like you.
