..the centre had six wards with 200 beds and cost some $ 8 million, which was funded by the Kantha Bopha Foundation in Switzerland and Cambodia and $1 million granted by the King and the Queen Mother.
At the inauguration ceremony of the Heart Surgery Centre II – named Kantha Bopha-Sihamoni Monineath – at Kantha Bopha I Children’s Hospital in Phnom Penh on Thursday, King Norodom Sihamoni said he and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk had donated $1.2 million towards its construction.
“Having worked with Cambodia’s specialist doctors for eight years, I hope the Heart Surgery Centre II will meet people’s needs and treat the thousands of children who suffer from heart problems at birth every year.
“What is so gratifying is that, thanks to this new surgery centre, 80 per cent of these children will be able to live normal lives after being operated on successfully,” King Sihamoni said
