On November 1, the Vietnamese Embassy in the Kingdom of Cambodia coordinated with Cho Ray Phnom Penh Hospital and the Khmer-Vietnamese Association in Cambodia (KVA) Takeo Province branch to organize a charity medical examination and treatment program for Cambodian people and people of Vietnamese origin in difficult circumstances in Takeo Province. The program aims to help people access quality medical services and share the burden of medical examination and treatment costs.

The activity took place at the KVA headquarters, Takeo province branch in Roka Khnong ward, Daun Keo city, with many practical contents such as medical examination, disease screening, blood sugar testing, ultrasound, health consultation, free medicine distribution and charity gifts for about 500 people.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Minh Vu emphasized that the program is a humanitarian activity, with practical significance in the medical cooperation between the two countries. The Ambassador highly appreciated the support of Cho Ray Phnom Penh Hospital in taking care of community health, especially for people of Vietnamese origin and Cambodian people in difficult circumstances.
