A total of 20 mobile clinic vehicles, which were produced by China’s Sinopharm Group, were delivered to Cambodia. Another 20 vehicles will arrive in Cambodia in October.
The mobile clinics, which are equipped with 22 kinds of advanced medical equipment such as digital X-ray and ultrasound machines, can offer basic medical examinations and treatment.
The vehicles will be distributed by the Cambodian Ministry of Health to remote areas to provide local residents easier access to medical treatment.
"We hope and believe that these mobile clinics will bring the Chinese people's friendly sentiments to the Cambodian people," Xiong said, adding that this was another achievement of the bilateral relations.
