Give blood. Angkor Hospital for Children. Foreign donate blood. Blood donations in Siem Reap will be at two locations: Siem Reap Provincial Hospital from 8am-12pm, and Angkor Hospital for Children from 8am-5pm. According to Angkor Hospital for Children external relations officer Ho Oma, the aim is to encourage young Khmer people to give blood because there is still a lot of associated stigma. In 2012, for example, out of the 1,449 people donating blood at the hospital, only 451 were Khmer. “We want to motivate young people – especially Khmers – to donate blood, because most of them are scared to do it,” Ho said. “They worry that it might affect their health, or that they’ll get sick and faint after a blood donation. We need to explain it to them and encourage them. Loy9 came to talk to us, and we decided to do it together.”
