S. Korea Supports Establishment of ENT Clinic in Cambodia

SEOUL, Aug. 5 (Korea Bizwire) — A new ear-nose-and-throat clinic in Cambodia established with the support of South Korea’s overseas aid agency is expected to raise the quality of medical treatment in the region.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) said Cambodia’s only ear-nose-and-throat clinic was set up at Preah Ang Duong Hospital in Phnom Penh last March.

KOICA invested US$8 million in 2018 to build new hospital wards, send some 700 pieces of medical equipment and deploy South Korean medical experts.

Preah Ang Duong Hospital is a national medical institution frequented by low-income patients.

With the new ear-nose-and-throat clinic, patients will now be able to receive complex surgeries at a more affordable cost, KOICA said.
