The official wage is quite low. I'm not sure exactly how much.

For foreigners, it depends on your skin tone.

If you are white, and have no releveant qualifications or experience, hourly rates start at about $10.

If you are brown-skinned and from another Southeast Asian country, you can halve that.

I think that Black people from Africa can expect something inbetween.
Working in SEA as a teacher with no savings, qualifications or experience is pretty much setting yourself up to fail.

No idea if this is of any use to your friend, but a new cancer centre opened at Calmette in January, and it's mentioned that the Khmer-Soviet hospital also has a specialized cancer ward. These are the only two public cancer treatment centres in Cambodia.

However, if your friend is "just" dying, and does not need special treatment for his illness, perhaps some Catholic charity for the dying would be more in line with his needs. I have vaguely heard of such places - there's one run by Catholic monks I think near Siem Reap ? Hopefully someone else will have more precise information.

Pieman, does the guy have no family or anyone willing to get him back to his country ? I think UK, Europe, Australia, NZ should have basic medical cover for their citizens, even expats.

Yes cancer is a bit vague, it covers a lot of variations.
However at one time back when I met.several of the sisters at Wat Than and they were committed to improving life quality, not saving souls., Only.pieman can act on this. info by.contacting.the Sisters of Maryknoll if it seems the appropriate course of action. I wish good luck to all concerned.

Just out of curiosity, how is a veteran any different to a full US citizen?

I have a friend who returned from his 5th mission in Iraq and waited SIX months for a medical appointment in the US of A.

It seems to me, a vet is worth shit in Murika, yet you equate it with something on here. Why?
