Cancer has become one of the fastest-growing medical emergencies in Cambodia.
In Battambang Province especially, hospitals are overwhelmed with patients suffering from:
Breast cancer
Cervical cancer
Stomach cancer
Liver cancer
Lung cancer
Lymphoma
Late-stage tumors
For many patients, early treatment could save their lives, but poverty stops them before treatment even begins.
Families often cannot afford:
Medical screening
Biopsy tests
Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiology scans
Medication
Transportation to the hospital
Some patients arrive too late because they had no financial means to seek help earlier. Others die at home, untreated, because treatment costs more than their entire yearly income.
In Battambang, where poverty rates remain high and many families depend on unstable farming income, the impact is devastating.
This campaign supports cancer patients in five major hospitals in Battambang:
🏥 1. Battambang Provincial Referral Hospital
🏥 2. Sampov Meas Referral Hospital
🏥 3. Mongkol Borey Hospital (supporting cross-province patients)
🏥 4. Thmar Koul Referral Hospital
🏥 5. Ek Phnom District Hospital
These hospitals serve thousands of vulnerable families across the northwest region.
