Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) serves as the pediatric department for Siem Reap’s Provincial Hospital, but also treats children from neighboring provinces. Providing outpatient, inpatient, acute, emergency, surgical, low-acuity, dental and ophthalmologic care, AHC has treated almost 500,000 children since 1999. Currently the outpatient department sees 300-400 children each day and maintains 50 inpatient beds. Patients are asked to pay a nominal fixed fee per visit if they can afford to do so – all treatment and inpatient care is free of charge.


Intent on building Cambodian self-sufficiency, AHC strives to increase the number of properly trained healthcare professionals. AHC is an officially recognized teaching hospital. In cooperation with the Cambodian Ministry of Health, instruction is provided to government healthcare workers from health centers and hospitals through short and long-term training. AHC is a clinical training site for nursing students from all five of Cambodia’s regional training centers. The hospital is also a training site for the WHO-developed Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) training program.

Children with chronic health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, severe malnutrition and epilepsy require regular medical attention. To save children the often arduous journey to AHC and guarantee the follow-up care they need, AHC provides at-home visits through the Home Care Program.
