PHNOM PENH, July 23 (Bernama) — Smile Cambodia, led by a team of Malaysian doctors, is transforming the lives of children with facial deformities and offering renewed hope to underserved communities without access to professional care.
The independent charity organisation that largely depends on volunteer doctors, both foreign and local, successfully conducted complicated surgeries on children suffering from cleft lip and cleft palate anomalies last weekend.
The recent mission was held at the Smile Centre in Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh, where three Malaysian specialists participated in the reconstructive surgeries, along with Cambodian experts.
Sixty patients were screened at the centre from July 17 to 19.
“The recent surgical mission is our fourth this year. We had targeted to treat 30 patients during the two-day surgical mission. We treated 44 patients, including many difficult cases.
“Many parents of cleft patients expressed their happiness and gratitude when they left the hospital. Our surgical mission was a success,” Smile Cambodia Vice Chairman and Executive Director Chan Kok Choy told Bernama.
The organisation, led by Chan, a former Malaysian banker turned social worker based in Cambodia, brings joy to children suffering from facial deformities, alleviates pain for their parents and introduces advanced medical surgeries to rural communities.
“We are grateful to both our Malaysian and Cambodian medical volunteers for their professionalism, commitment, hard work and dedication to treat every patient with care.
“In addition to providing surgery for patients with cleft lip and palate and other facial deformities, we plan to offer dental treatment, speech therapy and treat burn patients in future missions, helping them to lead a normal and better life,” said Chan.
The recent mission brought extra excitement to parents and toddlers involved.
Miss Universe Cambodia 2024 Davin Prasath, along with the contestants of Miss Universe Cambodia 2025, visited the centre to see firsthand how the surgeries are performed.
“You don’t need money, you need love and passion to help people. It is very meaningful when you reach out to people. We must help to expand platform (Smile Cambodia) like this,” said Davin, who is also Smile Cambodia’s Brand Ambassador.
