SEN
As I read this e-mail, I feel shameful on behalf of State Person on the fact
that Mrs.
Bun Rany Hun Sen is not an academic doctoral status despite she has been earned
recognition as Honorary Doctor. I have not seen anyone uses his/her honorary
status as an official academic one when dealing with media in public,
especially the Leader of the nation (except for Mr & Mrs. Hun Sen).
In addition, I think UN should look and investigate more deeply onto how
Women's and Children's Healths have been promoted in Cambodia. If UN just makes
an assumption on facts, the real truth on fact findings have never been
realistic, and UN is going to lose face on itself. As I recall based on the
report, a poor Cambodian pregnant woman named Vorn Yoeum, now 41, was denied
giving birth at hospital in Pailin on the night of 03/15/2009 due to the fact
that her husband ( Mr. Saran), a one leg disabled person with 7 dependent
children in charge, was unable to pay $100,000 Riels for hospital fees.
Subsequently due to that denial, the ready to give birth woman was left to stay
outside the hospital building without medical care from 9.10p.m. till the
morning of next day, and finally, she passed away as the result of emergency
access denial, delivered complication, excessive bleeding, negligence or
ignored by the doctor (s). Her prospect new born baby was died along with the
mother at that time.
Did Mrs. Bun Rany Hun Sen know about this? Did UN know about this? Did
Minister of Health, H.E. Mam Bun Heng know about this, and what was the
solution to make it better care? Did those four doctors at the hospital site on
that night of 03/15/2009 were prosecuted? I believe at the present time many
women and children still have been victimized by the lack of medical attention
in Cambodia. UN should take appropriate step looking onto its investigation
more evidently for its world integrity.

UN AWARDS NATIONAL CHAMPION TO DR. BUN RANY

Dr. Bun Rany Hun Sen (right) receives the National Champion for the United
Nations
Secretary General’s Joint Plan of Action for Women’s and Children’s Health
Lok Chum Teav Dr. Bun Rany Hun Sen was recognized as the National Champion for
the United Nations (UN) Secretary General’s Joint Plan of Action for Women’s
and Children’s Health in aiming to foster Cambodia to accomplish the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 in goal four and five that focus the maternal
and child health care improvement in the country.
The President of the Cambodian Red Cross Lok Chum Teav Dr. Bun Rany Hun Sen at
the handing over ceremony of the National Champion on 21 February, said that
the role bestowed on her is not by chance, but it has the origin from the
recognition of her activities and efforts in serving humanitarian causes.
‘This esteemed privilege has clearly indicated to me that there are many more
duties that I have to carry out, especially at a time when the issue of
promoting maternal and child health are challenging in the whole world,” she
highlighted.
She expressed a strong willingness to contribute to continued efforts,
particularly in reducing maternal and infant mortality. “Although we have
striven and overcome difficulties, there are still many challenges that cause
high rates of maternal and newborn mortality such as low numbers of midwives,
limit in budget, medical materials and equipment, limited health services
dissemination, difficult access to health centers, and women’s limited
knowledge toward the reproductive health,” she added.
She presented the key suggestions to address on the issues, including, the
councils at all levels should promote health and hygiene education to residents
and families particularly women and youth. Health service deliveries have to be
nurtured mainly toward reproductive health and pregnancy care. Health
facilities should ensure medical materials, equipment and hygiene to guarantee
quality and safety in healthcare delivery. Relevant institutions of the
government, particularly the Ministry of Health, should continue strengthening
and working more actively in providing health care services without
discrimination.
Gaining the experience of being a medical practitioner in the brutal genocidal
era, she understands the great value of health care services and midwives to
mothers and children. “My ultimate aim is to share the misery of the victims
who survived the Pol Pot regime, the suffering of the poor, victims of all
kinds of disasters and diseases, and my intention is to safeguard our younger
generation so they do not experience past tragedies as their ancestors did,”
she said.
She appealed to the United Nations, and those specialized agencies for stronger
support with budget, materials, and technical assistance to fully implement her
role in maximizing productivities.
H.E. Mam Bunheng, Minister of Health, stated that the rate of pregnant women to
access for health care at least twice before delivery hiked from 22 percent in
2000 to 33 percent in 2005. The rate increased to 72 percent in 2010. The
delivery with professional midwives increased from 10 percent in 2000 to 22
percent in 2005 and to 52 percent in 2010. Reproductive-age Women who have
married and practiced public birth control services climbed from 11 percent in
2000 to 22 percent in 2005, and 30 percent in 2010.
Ms. Nobuko Horibe, Director of the United Nations Population’s Fund (UNFPA) for
Asia and Pacific Regional Office, during the recognition ceremony, pointed out
the common reason to propose the recognition to Lok Chum Teav Bun Rany as the
National Champion.
“We altogether approved your remarkable masterpieces in leading and advocacy to
mitigate the health and social matters in Cambodia. Your contributions have
positively affected Cambodian welfare especially your great affairs in playing
a leading role as national champion of Asia Pacific Leadership Forum to fight
HIV/AIDS epidemics in the nation,” she said.
In this regard, she believes that whenever Lok Chum Teav Bun Rany informs
people to get health care services at the health centers mainly on pregnancy,
and reproductive health care, they will make a serious attempt to listen and
follow advice that is given.
“Taking the name of national champion, we also have motivated confidence that,
Your Excellency will constantly and regularly visit the health care centers so
as the communities across the country can aim to improve people’s health with
the main spotlight on maternal and child health,” she stressed her belief.
The United Nations specialized agencies including World Health Organization
(WHO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population’ Fund
(UNFPA), the World Bank, and Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
are in ready preparation to foster Lok Chum Teav’s actions and efforts to
effectively implement her role in helping Cambodia to successfully reach CMDG
four and five by 2015.
The Royal Government of Cambodia has decided to set February 21st every year as
the National Day for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. (SEAW)
