Patients awaiting TB treatment at CHC program at Kompong Ro Hospital in Svay Rieng in 1997.

The CHC is a local non-governmental organization (NGO) working in Cambodia since 1994 to improve the health and well-being of its people. A Cambodian-American partnership, the CHC also works to share the lessons learned with colleagues in the region and around the world.

Our efforts focus on those suffering from tuberculosis (TB) and AIDS, who are among the poorest in Cambodian society. We work in both rural and urban settings, assisting local people regardless of race, sex, age, religion, or political affiliation. We are attacking the root causes of disease and poverty in adults and children, and are giving people the knowledge and access to medicines to allow them to lead healthy lives.
