Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) is a Pediatric Hospital providing free treatment and care to the children in the Siem Reap area and Cambodia. On average 450 children and their families arrive at the hospital seeking care each day. Since opening in 1999, there have been more than 1 million visits to AHC by Cambodian children. AHC is an official Teaching Hospital and has taught more than 3,500 healthcare professionals from Cambodia.

According to the latest statistics, 1 of every 20 children in Cambodia dies before his or her 5th birthday, often from treatable and/or preventable illness. Although their standard of living is steadily improving, Cambodians still suffer from endemic poverty. Therefore, AHC provides outpatient, inpatient, intensive, surgical, and HIV care, as well as other services, free of charge. Those patients or families who can afford to make small contribution are asked to do so. Over 120,000 Cambodian children are cared for at AHC every year.

Our hospital also supports greater Cambodian health care self-sufficiency through its Medical Education Center (MEC). AHC was officially recognized as a teaching hospital by the government of Cambodia in 2005. The MEC provides high quality training and education to hundreds of Cambodian nurses and doctors each year. In addition, AHC serves as a training site for the World Health Organization’s Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses Program (IMCI).
