Fondation Kantha Bopha – Dr med. Beat Richner

Projet terminé

25 years of Dr Richner’s tireless efforts resulted in millions of children receiving free quality medical care at Kantha Bopha Hospitals. Despite his retirement early 2017, the five hospitals are operating smoothly with the management model he set up and the commitment of the Royal Government of Cambodia to maintain it. SDC’s financial support remains crucial until a sustainable Cambodian financing is found.

Contexte The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) is committed to achieving universal health coverage by 2030 as indicated in the Sustainable Development Goal 3. With this commitment, social insurance coverage has been scaled up at a faster speed. Despite improvements in health coverage, more remains to be done for approximately 70% of Cambodian people that are without insurance scheme and quality health facilities. The Kantha Bopha Hospitals (KBH) offers free health care to children and expecting women regardless of whether they are insured or not. The hospitals are bridging the inequity gap in access to quality health services.
Objectifs The goal is to contribute to the improvement of child and maternal health through equitable and responsive public health services, as well as sustainable health financing.
Groupes cibles
  • Children (<15 years) and expecting mothers in Cambodia
  • Accompanying caregivers of patients
  • Cambodian health personnel (doctors and nursing staff)
Effets à moyen terme

KBH objectives:

1. Contribution to the reduction of the 2014 maternal mortality rate (>170/100,000 live births).

2. Contribution to the reduction of 2014 neonatal and child mortality rate (>27/1000 live births).

SDC objectives:

3. The Cambodian Kantha Bopha Foundation’s and the Royal Government of Cambodia’s public health financing are disbursed upfront and able to cover 80% of the total KBH expenditure by 2028 (and 46% by 2021), making them less dependent on public and private fundraising in Switzerland.

4. Expansion and replication of elements of the Hospitals as a standard child healthcare model in Cambodia. The model is evidence-based, understood and promoted by health sector authorities in Cambodia.
