In his speech at the opening ceremony of the event, Governor of Kep province Ken Sotha highlighted the significance of the activity, especially at a time when the local health sector is meeting with difficulties.

It also shows friendship and mutual support between the two countries’ people, he said.

The people were provided with services such as blood tests, ultrasound examination, electrocardiogram, general examination. They also received medicines and advice on how to prevent diseases.

Those with difficult circumstances, who can’t afford intensive treatment, will have their treatment funded by donors.

In recent years, many delegations of Vietnamese and overseas Vietnamese volunteer doctors, enterprises and donors have provided free medical examination and medicines for disadvantaged Cambodians and OVs living in Cambodia, contributing to enhancing the friendship between the two countries and their people in particular.
