Kantha Bopha 1992 - 2008
Since 1991, five hospitals and a maternity ward for HIV positive mothers were built and are fully operating. The Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospitals has been progressively extended and modified to meet the most urgent needs.
The annual budget of the running costs is now 24 Million USD. Kantha Bopha’s relation costs/ healing rate is the best worldwide proved by international evaluations. All medical services are free of charge for every childrens.
In the five hospitals, Kantha Bopha I, II, IV and V in Phnom Penh and Jayavarman VII in Siem Reap Angkor, each year 75′000 children are hospitalized (the average length of hospitalisation is 5 days), 800′000 ill children receive treatment in the outpatients department, 400′000 healthy children get vaccinated, 16′000 chirurgical operations are executed, 12′000 birth in the maternity (designed to prevent mother-to-child AIDS and TB transmission) and daily 3′000 families receive health care education.
All medical services are free of charge since the families in Cambodia are simply too poor to even make a small contribution towards these medical costs. Without Kantha Bopha, 3′200 additional children would die in Cambodia every month.
At the moment we are starting a further construction in Siem Reap Angkor for 300 beds more. There we will install a brand new modern MRI in order to go on the research for TB in children. The MRI is important too for better diagnosis and controlling of all the bone and brain infections caused by TB, still so frequent in the north of the country.
Every child has a right to correct medication unhampered by corruption
All of the 2′060 Cambodian staff at Kantha Bopha earn a modest living on which they can get by (something which is not possible on the usual salary of US$ 20 paid to local staff in Cambodia). By paying our staff a living wage we seem to have found a way of successfully fighting corruption which otherwise is widespread in Cambodia. To this day there have been no thefts at the hospital, no cases of medicine simply vanishing into thin air rather than being administered to the patient in need. The hospital operates 24 hours a day, and part of our staff is working shifts. No money is taken under the table from patientís families, and none of our staff has to rely on a second job outside the hospital in order to make a living. Medical care is freely available to all children. 85% of all children needing hospitalisation come from families who are too poor to pay even the smallest fee. For these children Kantha Bopha represents the only chance to get any medical care at all. It is our belief that every child has a right to correct medication. This, in turn, can only be achieved with the assistance of modern and fully functioning equipment, proper and effective medicine, and correct and sufficient medical one-way material, all of which has very little indeed to do with luxury and even less with first-class medicine.
No bureaucracy
A mere 5% of the hospital’s funds are spent on administrative tasks. In order to avoid the traditional, cost-intensive hospital management and the bureaucracy going with it, we have allocated those tasks which can be dealt with locally, including logistics, to those members of the medical staff who have the necessary administrative skills. This means that your money will be spent fully for the benefit of the children in need and the Cambodian population. What’s more, we have managed further to reduce the number of foreign staff to just two. Today, Kantha Bopha is operating largely autonomously, both from a professional as well as a technical viewpoint.
In year 2000, an international team of experts was sent to Cambodia by order of the Swiss Federal Agency for Development and Cooperation (DEZA) to evaluate the hospitals. The result was: Kantha Bopha was rated as a prime example of a project for the Third World. After a personal inspection of the three hospitals, the director of DEZA fully acknowledged the final result of the experts: “Care of patients, organization and hygiene are excellent. Kantha Bopha has an optimal expense-to-use relation.
Therefore, the necessary funds for the hospitals are appropriately spent. 95% of the funds are spent in Cambodia - for medication, for the salaries of over 2′060 employees and for the maintenance and running costs of the hospitals. Only 5 % of the total funds are necessary to run the infrastructure of the foundation in Switzerland. Thus, the people and children of Cambodia are fully profiting from your donation.
Up to now we get 2 Million USD by the Cambodian government, 2.5 Million USD by the Swiss Government and 18 Million USD per year by private donations . The last 15 years our foundation has spent totally 250 Million USD.
Every single franc helps to prevent, to treat and to cure illnesses.
