The King and Queen Mother have awarded a royal residence in Koh Kong province to the director of the Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospitals in a bid to relieve the financial burden on the facilities, which offer free treatment to all patients.

In a letter signed on Saturday, King Norodom Sihamoni and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk offer a “residence, which is the personal property of King Father Norodom Sihanouk” to Swiss national Beat Richner, who founded the hospitals in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

“I believe that this gift will facilitate and relieve the financial problems of Kantha Bopha Hospital and it will help the poor children of Cambodia,” the letter says.
