ABA Bank donates to Japan Heart's second medical center project
13/12/2024
ABA Bank is pleased to announce its donation of $10,000 to Japan Heart, an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing free medical care to children across Cambodia. This significant contribution will aid Japan Heart’s mission to expand its healthcare services by constructing its second medical center.
Scheduled to open in Takhmao by October 2025, the new facility of Japan Heart Asia Children Medical Center will be equipped with specialized departments in pediatrics, surgery, hematology, and oncology. This expansion is crucial in addressing the growing demand for quality healthcare and ensuring more children receive lifesaving medical services.
On 11 December 2024, the donation handover ceremony was held under the attendance of ABA’s Chief Operating Officer, Zhiger Atchabarov, Japan Heart’s Director, Dr. Maiko Kojiro, and their respective teams at Japan Heart Children’s Medical Center in Oudong district, Kandal province.
“Today, ABA Bank is deeply honored to contribute towards the establishment of Japan Heart’s second branch in Takhmao. We understand that access to quality healthcare is fundamental to the well-being of individuals and communities,” stated Zhiger Atchabarov.
“This moment reflects not only a partnership but also a shared vision – a vision for better healthcare access and a brighter future for the people of Cambodia. By supporting Japan Heart’s efforts, we hope to help expand the reach and impact, ensuring that this incredible work can touch more lives,” he continued.
Dr. Maiko Kojiro, Japan Heart’s Director, also expressed, “At our medical center, we believe every child deserves access to quality healthcare, especially the ones with cancer, regardless of their financial situation. Unfortunately, many families face overwhelming challenges when trying to support medical treatment for their children.”
“Therefore, this donation will make a big difference in their lives. We would like to express our gratitude to ABA Bank for your generosity. We look forward to working together and continuing this shared mission of providing care to those who need it most. Lastly, we would like to urge all parents and guardians of children with rising symptoms of any type of cancer to seek consultation and medical advice from Japan Heart’s team of experts.” Maiko Kojiro added.
Since its arrival in Cambodia in 2009 and the start of pediatric cancer treatment in 2018, Japan Heart Children’s Medical Center in Kandal province has been working tirelessly. By December 2023, the center had provided healthcare and medical examinations to 98,363 patients and performed 8,680 surgeries.
Annually, the medical center treats 20,000 outpatients and performs 3,000 surgeries. ABA remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting quality healthcare initiatives and making lasting impacts on many individuals’ health and well-being in the foreseeable future.
