Flying Doctors of America

Every year FKC support the Flying Doctors of America in their amazing mission to help as many Cambodians as possible. This year a total of 13 doctors and 2 volunteers came over, ranging from dentists and pediatricians to chiropractors and general practitioners.They worked solidly over the week to offer advice, treatment and medication to over 1000 patients.

On their final afternoon of the trip they even found time to come visit us at FKC, where we put on a few songs and a traditional dance or two so they could relax!

This year they went to 4 different clinics in 4 different districts:
Srae Nouy Commune        - 235 patients
Chanleas Dai Commune   - 307 patients
Svay Chek Commune       - 281 patients
Sro Nge Commune           - 317 patients
 
We'd like to thank them again on behalf of Cambodia, and hopefully see them again next year!

Our team taking their personal details and what was wrong

Patients ranged from babies to the elderly

The dental surgery was in high demand due to poor oral
hygiene in Cambodia. Toothbrushes were handed out to
each patient and they were shown how to brush properly

Medicine was brought from the US and any further supplies
bought in Cambodia. Here are two volunteers helping dispense
the medicine according to what the patients need.

The team on the fourth and final day of the mission. Tired
but extremely happy with their efforts. Congratulations
on a great job and thanks for everything!
