Imagine a hospital where cutting-edge tech meets ancient healing traditions 🌿💻. That’s the Cambodia-China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital – a 400-bed medical hub in Phnom Penh built with Chinese support, now serving as a beacon of cross-border collaboration.
Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a bustling traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wing, the hospital has become a lifeline for Cambodians nationwide. Dr. Koeurng Raksmiy told CGTN: \"Patients love the blend of modern diagnostics and herbal remedies – it’s like getting the best of both worlds.\"
Opened during the \"China-Cambodia Friendship Year\", this project celebrates 65 years of diplomatic ties 🤝. Fun fact: The hospital’s TCM department has become so popular, locals joke about \'acupuncture appointments going viral\' 📱!
Why it matters: As Asian nations collaborate on health infrastructure, projects like this show how global partnerships can literally save lives – while keeping cultural roots alive 🌏❤️.
