Australian Defence Force Helps in Cambodia Health Project

Australian Defence Force (ADF) inform that its medical personnel working alongside colleagues from the armed forces of the US, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Chile have treated almost 3000 people in the Cambodian city of Sihanoukville and the surrounding region. The Cambodian clinics were held as part of Pacific Partnership 2014, a US-sponsored humanitarian and civic assistance exercise aimed at strengthening international relationships with partner and host nations in the Asia-Pacific. The Commander of Australia’s contingent, Lieutenant Colonel John Cronin, said members of his team were humbled by the reception they received.
