King Norodom Sihamoni has donated $200,000 to the Covid-19 response plan. Royal Palace
PRIME Minister Hun Sen announced that the government had received nearly $9
million from Cambodian donors for the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. There
are 96 who tested positive in the Kingdom as of Wednesday.
Hun Sen made the announcement at a meeting with 422 volunteer doctors before
they went on missions with the Ministry of Health to fight the disease.
“Until now, we have received nearly $9 million. I thank and express my gratitude to
the King and the Queen Mother. And I thank the various donors for their
contributions.
“This shows that the Khmer people love one another. We have the money for our
citizens and [donors] have contributed it within only few days. We will continue to
receive more donations as the disease is not under control yet,” he said.
Hun Sen said King Norodom Sihamoni had donated $200,000, while Queen Mother
Norodom Monineath Sihanouk contributed $ 100,000.
The government, he said, had not yet used the funds but once the coronavirus is
under control and the situation has gone back to normal, he aims to divert any left
over money to the Kantha Bopha Foundation.
“The Covid-19 disease has not yet ended. We have to keep and use it to fight against
the disease,” he said.

At the event, he also mentioned Oknha Thai Sambath who offered his five-star hotel
to serve as a treatment facility for Covid-19 patients free of charge.
Hun Sen reiterated that all Covid-19 positive people in Cambodia, including
foreigners, can receive free treatment from Cambodian doctors because it is the
obligation of the Kingdom as their hosts.
He said: “The Vietnamese Prime Minister announced that foreign nationals who have
contracted this disease must pay for their treatment. We are poor but we have a big
heart.
