Her name is Meas Silorn, the Head Nurse
of the Surgical Ward of NPH. She was called
"Madam Silorn" honorably. Her years
of service in NPH were over 20 years.
However, regretfully she passed away this
3rd of February.
Madam Silorn built up the "harmony"
of the nursing team of Surgical Ward. She
sometimes guided nurse's good behavior and
other times encouraged them in strong terms.
Her presence and job performance in the
Surgical Ward was too great for words.
In private, she brought up 3 children only
by herself.
"I want to improve the ability of
nursing care in Surgical Ward" was what
Madam Silorn saying repeatedly when she was
alive.
We would like to promise that we shall
inherit her will and endeavor to improve
the skill of nursing care with the nurses
of Surgical Ward.

Ms. Sang - Having Motivation for Learning
and Energy (December 15, 2008)
 |
 |
Explaining about the nursing care to the
family of patient, her name is Sok Sang.
After graduated from Nursing School in
1991, she worked for *Health Center in Phnom
Penh. She was taking care of vaccination,
health education and spraying chemical to
prevent breeding of mosquito which transmits
malaria and dengue fever.
Her career experience received recognition
and she became to maintain goods such as
medicine, bandage, plaster, and office materials.
Since she preferred to know many cases, gain
much knowledge and improve her nursing skill
rather than desk work, she transferred to
NPH.
At present, she is working mainly on injection
and medication without rest. Being such a
lady, she told us privately "What I
really want to do is the wound dressing and
I am waiting secretly for having those work
or get the chance to gain those skills."
We hope her willingness to learn and inherent
vitality would bring out greatly and would
stimulate the other nurses as well.
*Health Center: Having both function of healthcare
center and clinic in Japan, it is placed
one in every 10,000 people in principle.
It is the most familiar medical facilities
to the people in Cambodia.

Ms. Samoueun - Telling Philosophy of
Nursing (November 14, 2008)
 |
 |
"Clean up your room when you have
messed it", "It's very much necessary
to clean up the hospital" the person
telling to the family in the patient's room
early morning is Pang Samoueun. She is a
Vice Head Ｎurse of the Surgical Ward.
As a Vice Head Ｎurse, she does not only
supervise the nurses daily but taking good
care of the Ward. "Some people may feel
uncomfortable with me but it is our responsibility
to keep the Ward clean and I won't stop telling
to the patient's family", she burns
with passion in keeping sanitary condition
of the Ward.
She is working more than 26 years in NPH
after her graduation from the Nursing School
and has been transferred from Medical Ward
to Surgery Ward when it was established.
"There should be no discrimination
in the hospital between the rich and the
person who is receiving the medical expense
aid. We will provide the same medical care
to both equally."
"Family is also a member of the nursing
team. It is very important to supervise the
family here in Cambodia."
She told us with a gleam in her eyes that
she has been working with the conviction
which she acquired through her long experience
of nursing.
Placing importance on time to spend with
her family, she is feeling responsibility
and joy to be engaged in her present job
to treat and care the children in Cambodia.
We believe that inheriting her philosophy
of nursing to successor may lead to the development
of the nursing in Cambodia.

 |
 |
The *Physical Therapist teaching rehabilitation
procedure to the family of a child discharged
from the hospital, his name is Lim Chendavuth.
He joined NPH in July 2007. He rehabilitates
the patients mainly from the Surgical Ward.
Since he has the experience of nurse, he
gives physical therapy carefully communicating
gently with the patients which let them feel
relieved.
In Cambodia the number of Physical Therapist
is still small. Since he wants to be the
help of people by engaging this job, he became
a Physical Therapist after his career as
a nurse and studied 3 years.
He talks about his work as follows.
"I like this work. I feel so happy
when I saw my patient recovered to walk after
the rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is maybe
painful and many children cry or get angry
at first stage. But I think it will be nice
if children notice their future is the result
of present effort when they become adults."
The dream of Mr. Chendavuth is to become
a teacher of the school of Physical Therapist.
To see the smiling face of the children as
much as possible, Mr. Chendavuth is working
hard today on his job.

Mr. Bolin - Dependabale Person for Patient
and Other Nurse (September 16, 2008)
 |
 |
The reliable person, like a big brother
is Lo Bolin.
Having more than 10 years experience as
a nurse, his skilled specialty is wound dressing.
He recently joined the medical skill training
for orthopedics and gained the new treatment
method. He is supporting the doctor when
the plaster cast therapy for outpatient is
necessary.
Since there are not so many nurses who
could apply a cast to the patient, he remains
and works even after his overnight job if
the patient is there.
At first sight, he gives himself to his
work, but he loves eating also. We could
find him always where snacks and soft drinks
are prepared at time of coffee break between
meetings in the hospital or when enjoying
picnics.
Though a big eater, we expect this large-hearted
and reliable guy to lead the junior nurses
using full of his power to it.

Mr. Sombath - Currently, in the Midst of
On-the-Job Training (August 15, 2008)
 |
 |
The person cutting nail of a patient from
traffic accident is Sok Sambath.
He is one of the three nurses who entered
the NPH in 2006 and was assigned to the Surgical
Department.
Though earnestly working with the senior
staff, his medical treatment shows lack in
confidence. Especially in case of wound dressing
treatments which needs appropriate decision
upon observing the wound, both skill and
knowledge are much necessary and he is receiving
warm and severe comments from the senior
staffs everyday.
Looking at him making an intense effort
to handle injection and disinfection, we
hardly ceased to shout "Keep it up!"
to him.
He recently became a father. He is always
having the photo of his child and shows it
to us happily.
It seems that the time for him to talk
about his job proudly to his daughter would
come very soon.

Mr. Yan - To Be a Nurse Who Has Both Gentle
Attitude and Technique (July 16, 2008)
 |
 |
Offering to his patient the medical treatment
with serious face, his name is Lek Yan.
He is one of the three nurses who were
assigned to NPH in 2006. At first he was
changing the gauze with less confidence but
now he dresses wound and removes stitches
of patients around 10 or so efficiently.
What attracts the attention is not only his
improvement in medical skill but his attitude
towards children patients with utmost gentleness.
Speaking jokes to the child who is in fear
of clinical examination, gently explaining
to the child who is necessary to stay still.
He makes the children cheer up by his pleasant
working atmosphere.
This kind of attitude is quite valuable
while in Cambodia the necessary thing for
nurse deems to be the achievement of medical
skill mainly.
We hope he would develop his knowledge and
skill of medical treatment further and become
the key personal to take the important role
for the nursing in Cambodia keeping his gentle
attitude towards patients in mind.

Ms. Soknov - Reliable Person for Child and
Parents (June 16, 2008)
 |
 |
"I'm going around for injection now.
Look ! Don't you think I'm organizing these
well?" One afternoon, a young nurse
came, pointing at her wagon.
The patient of Surgical Dept. of NPH is
increasing whereas the number of nurse is
not so large and it is rather hard for nurse
to circuit the patient's room for injection
and medication.
Under such circumstances, Ms. Sreng Soknov,
the nurse is shining brightly, going around
the patient's room with her wagon organized
with injection and medicine and with her
beaming smile.
She graduated from Nursing School in 2006
and assigned to the Surgical Dept. of NPH.
In her first year in NPH, she was unskilled
nurse who can't give injection well. But
now, she is handling 40 to 50 patients in
the Surgery Dept. having much confidence
in her skill which shows how she improved
in a year.
Sometime speaking jokes to the child patient
and other times treating politely the family,
the patient's room will brighten up when
Ms.Soknov entered.
She is the most reliable person to a child
and family in the hospital and a valuable
person for building nursing in Cambodia.

Mr. Rachna - A Paragon of Nurse (May 15,
2008)
 |
 |
Hammer, electric drill, spanner …etc. Lots of tools are gathered in front of him.
His name is Chuong Rachna the Vice Head
Nurse of NPH. He participated in the training
program held in Japanese hospital.
He is not only the nurse but a skillful
repair man who takes out his tools from his
office locker as the three holy durables
and promptly repairs/retrofits hospital equipments.
He is a paragon of nurse, having much idea
in his head and fixes many types of equipment
giving every effort to utilize them.
| Today, he renovated some part of the patient's
locker which was not used and made it up
to a bed side monitor screen in an instant. The stiff caster was replaced and monitor cables were neatly stored in the equipment so as to match the usability of nurse. |
 |
In Cambodia, equipment are not sufficient
even in the hospital. Within the situation,
his idea, skill and energetic action is highly
depended on in the Surgical Ward.
Of course his enthusiasm to improve his
nursing skills is above all people. We are
happy to support and back him up continuously.
