In Cambodia, as in all the poor countries of the world, the WHO and UNICEF have for the past 25 years favoured a type of medicine based on "primary health care".

For 11 years, the Swiss pediatrician Beat Richner, alias Beatocello, has been championing another vision of humanitarian medicine. The three hospitals he has set up in Cambodia meet European standards and today care for 80% of the country's sick children. 4.5 million children have already been treated there.
