Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC)

Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, home of the famous Angkor Monuments. Since its inception in 1999, over 780,000 children have received quality medical care at AHC. The hospital offers outpatient, inpatient, emergency, surgical, dental and ophthalmologic care to more than 300 boys and girls each day.

The vast majority of children who come to AHC suffer from preventable and treatable illness. In Cambodia it is not uncommon for a child to die from complications of untreated respiratory infections, diarrhea or diseases virtually eradicated in the more-developed world. AHC is child and family focused, using a patient’s time at the hospital as an educational opportunity. The hospital provides vaccinations and multivitamins in addition to extensive education on nutrition, wellness and illness prevention.

AHC also reaches far beyond the hospital doors providing care to some of its most fragile patients. The HIV/ Homecare Program, delivers follow-up treatment and checkups to children who suffer from debilitating illness such as HIV/AIDS, meningitis, and epilepsy and other chronic diseases.

AHC is the largest facility outside of Phnom Penh which offers antiretroviral treatment to pediatric HIV/AIDS patients and currently administers this life-prolonging medication to hundreds of children.
