1. Background of the Problem
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh, thousands of patients arrive at hospitals every year diagnosed with breast cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and blood cancers.
Although hospitals provide treatment, many patients cannot afford:
Surgery costs
Chemotherapy and medication
Diagnostic tests (CT scan, MRI, biopsy)
Hospital stays and post-surgery care
As a result, patients delay treatment or stop completely—leading to preventable deaths.
This campaign responds to an urgent and growing medical crisis.
2. Impact on Patients, Families, and Community
Cancer does not affect one person alone—it affects entire families:
Parents sell land and assets for treatment
Children drop out of school to support families
Patients suffer without pain management
Families face long-term poverty after illness
Survivors lack follow-up care
Without financial support, survival becomes a privilege instead of a right.
3. Project Purpose
The purpose of this campaign is to save lives by ensuring that cancer patients in Phnom Penh receive:
Timely surgery
Complete medical treatment
