CSC at International Meeting

March 5, 2024

Thank you to the Global Initiative For Children's Surgery and MendingKids who supported two CSC Khmer surgeons - Dr. Bunvath and Dr. Samnang - to attend the Annual Meeting "Children's Surgery as an Essential Component of Global Health: Eliminating Disparities" in Manila. Dr. Bunvath delivered a talk on "Advancing Surgical Training in Cambodia through Children's Surgical Centre: Collaborative Capacity Building." Gaining exposure to other surgeons from around the world builds knowledge, sophistication, and capacity for our Khmer surgeons.

In-kind and monetary donations like this support the integral training of Khmer surgeons and other healthcare professionals, focusing on the development of sustainable surgical services for Cambodians. You can support this endeavor through your generous donations through our website.
