Zurich paediatrician Dr. Beat Richner left his home country in March 1992 to rebuild the children's hospital in Phnom Penh, which had been destroyed by the war, with Swiss donations. He worked tirelessly for over 26 years: For Cambodia's poorest, for the weakest, for those who had no lobby. They were the focus of his concern and commitment. Richner's credo: Correct medical treatment, free of charge, for all children.
Dr. Peter Studer was at his side from the very beginning. The two paediatricians worked side by side for decades, planning the reconstruction of the hospital, the extensions, the training of local staff and negotiating with authorities and donors.
The merits of the two founders for the affected children and their families as well as for the foundation are immense. We all carry on their life's work. Here in Switzerland – and also in Cambodia, where many long-term local companions now share the responsibility for the hospitals.
