20 of the first mobile clinics will be transported Cambodia by April with the remaining 20 to arrive in October. The mobile clinics would travel across the country especially towards the rural parts of Cambodia to help the poor with medical equipment that can carry out hospital duties including pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics.
