The 200-bed Japan Heart Asia Children's Medical Center opened on October 31, 2025, in Cambodia. Built entirely from donations over 800 million yen, it is Japan's largest charity-run children's hospital. Operated by Japan Heart, it provides free pediatric cancer treatment and trains local medical staff to ensure sustainable care. Your support helps save children who might otherwise die due to limited healthcare access.
Each year, around 300 children in Cambodia are diagnosed with cancer, yet many cannot access treatment due to high costs and limited healthcare. Few specialists exist, hospitals often neglect children's mental well-being, and families face financial and emotional hardship. Current aid is mostly external, lacking sustainability. Without urgent action, many children risk dying while waiting for care.
The Japan Heart Asia Children's Medical Center addresses this gap by providing free pediatric cancer treatment to about 150 children annually. It trains local doctors and nurses, introduces advanced care based on Japanese expertise, and creates a child-friendly environment with psychosocial support. The hospital is strategically located for accessibility, combining medical excellence with emotional care for patients and families.
Your support will save thousands of children over the years, strengthen local medical capacity, and build a sustainable pediatric cancer care system in Cambodia and neighboring countries. The hospital trains future medical professionals and provides a model for equitable care, ensuring that a child's chance of survival is no longer determined by where they are born, while supporting the emotional well-being of families.
