Dr. Beat (Beatocello) Richner

Dr. Beat Richner founder of Kantha Bopha hospitals said the hospital faces to close soon because of financial crisis if there is no help from Cambodia's government and international donors. Kantha Bopha hospital was found since 1992 in Phnom Penh.

Kantha Bopha serves from medical services to operation services for Cambodian children for free of charge. Thousands of children come to get medical services each day from Kantha Bopha hospitals.

The Kantha Bopha have five hospitals in Cambodia which four are in Phnom Penh and one in Siem Reap.

In Phnom Penh:

• Kantha Bopha I - 1992
• Kantha Bopha II - 1996
• Kantha Bopha IV - 2005
• Kantha Bopha V - 2007 

In Siem Reap:

• Jayavarmana VII - 1999

So what will happen to those thousands children if Kantha Bopha hospitals close?
