Partnership with NGO AIR Khmer

Since 2008, Artisans Angkor collaborates with a French association of volunteer doctors, called AIR Khmer, to ensure better health and good working postures to the artisans.

This organization comes once or twice a year to do basic health checkups but also specific respiratory consultations for artisans. This year the new recruited doctor from Artisans Angkor, Dr. Uch Thuok has been involved with their work. He has been trained by AIR Khmer about chest x-ray. From this training, 43 respiratory consultations were done in Siem Reap and 25 in Puok (the Silk Farm). Every month, with the support of 4 nurses, he meets artisans in our 48 workshops to ensure occupational safety and health whereas there is no doctor in these villages.
