Hospital to treat 25,000 disabled Cambodians
Organization information
Children's Surgical Centre
Location: Kodiak, United States of America
Summary
For 40 years, Cambodia has suffered the effects of war & genocide. Many educated citizens were targeted for execution, which caused the medical system to suffer. The Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) began in 1998 to offer free surgical care to rehabilitate victims of landmine injuries inflicted from the war; many of whom were children. Today, CSC treats 4,000 disabled Cambodians every year, rehabilitating a diverse range of disabilities and reducing stigma and poverty due to their disability.
