This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Chenla Children's Healthcare reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
Chenla Children’s Healthcare is built upon the foundation of strong key partners who wish to see the organization expand in its capabilities to provide high quality compassionate care for more children in the most remote region of Cambodia and SE Asia. Chenla did not expand operations during the pandemic even though the demand continued to grow. Our key partners and others ensured that we maintained operations, but we continued to be faced with the significant needs of poverty and multiple diseases not just COVID around us.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
We have endured numerous country-wide and local-level lockdowns, had key staff quarantined for Covid exposure and co-opted to help with Covid cases elsewhere, and faced the constant concern of when we would face a local Covid outbreak. With the only pediatric ventilators in the eastern part of the country, that was a real concern as the ventilators are already in constant use, with more patients needing ventilators than currently available. Our less severe/acute outpatient numbers dropped, likely due to travel restrictions and fears around COVID. However, Chenla’s intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care numbers increased by 120%. Most of our severe cases have not been COVID-19, but some have been. Children with routine pneumonias and other infections have made up the bulk of our increase. They have waited longer to seek care because of COVID travel restrictions and have come from further away to get to us as our reputation in the region has grown.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
Chenla Children’s Healthcare quickly integrated all government protocols into our operations. Safety of Chenla staff was first followed by ensuring that high quality, compassionate care was always available to children coming to us, even during the height of the pandemic. We are a direct healthcare provider to children most in need and we remained so.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
In response to the pandemic's negative effects on children’s access to healthcare and education, Chenla Children’s Healthcare set up a school health exam program as soon as the pandemic began to wain. We see this program as essential in helping children in this region get back on track with their education and their health. It is also essential for the early detection and management of chronic diseases in children here.

The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking through articulating the organization's mission
Chenla Children’s Healthcare’s mission in Cambodia is to provide accessible high-quality, compassionate medical care to children most in need, improve the infrastructure of the health system, and improve health worker education. Working in direct partnership with the Ministry of Health of the Royal Government of Cambodia, we utilize existing government facilities, medication, supplies, and staff to provide international standard medical care to Cambodian children suffering from infectious disease, febrile illness, premature birth, and more in the remote Kratie and Mondulkiri Provinces. Strengthening the social contract between the local community and the public healthcare system forms the foundation of what we do. We provide all services free of charge for poor patients and their families.
The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking through articulating the organization’s vision.
Chenla is an international NGO that sees success as becoming obsolete as the public sector is able to run the program independently and sustainably while maintaining the same level of compassionate high quality care. Our immediate and long term goals are to see continued decreased neonatal and pediatric morbidity and mortality rates in the communities we serve. Our long term vision is to work hard enough to work ourselves out of being needed at all. This long term vision, we believe, is a very unique, innovative and highly worthwhile aspect of Chenla Children’s Healthcare.

The nonprofit provides evidence of investment in leadership development
Chenla Children’s Healthcare was founded in 2016 through the hard efforts of a highly committed and compassionate group of Cambodian leaders who were willing to take a risk for the betterment of the common good for their society. In the past year, we have built upon this leadership foundation by further empowering Chenla’s Cambodian leadership team to cast a strategic vision and further manage the vast majority of clinical and expenditure aspects of the organization. One-on-one mentoring was provided to each of Chenla’s management team, but more importantly, their group vision for the organization through a strategic planning retreat performed in November 2021 is now being implemented organization-wide. Local empowerment is the key to Chenla Children’s Healthcare’s leadership development strategy.
The nonprofit provides evidence of leadership through focusing externally and mobilizing resources for the mission.

Chenla Children’s Healthcare’s strategic partnerships are numerous. First and foremost, we partner with the Ministry of Health working as a direct part of the referral hospitals in Kratie and Mondulkiri provinces. Our next expansion plan is to do the same in Steung Treng Province. Second, we partner with the University of Puthisastra in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to train medical students in high quality rural pediatric care so that they too will be much better equipped to help improve neonatal and pediatric mortality in the future. In addition, we work closely with National Pediatric Hospital Phnom Penh. Our NGO partners on the ground in Cambodia include All Ears Cambodia, Mercy Medical Center Phnom Penh, UNICEF Kratie Office, FIDR Kratie Pediatric Surgery Project, Kinchan Stiftung pre-school education project in Kratie as well as Kantha Bopha Hospitals in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
The Covid-19 pandemic indeed produced tremendous change beginning in early 2020 for Chenla Children’s Healthcare and our hospital work. Our response was fairly simple. Stay calm. Carry on with our mission. Add the dynamic of caring for COVID-19 patients. Protect our staff and prevent transmission within our community. In both 2020 and 2021, Chenla Children’s healthcare adapted quickly and bravely to the tremendous changes caused by the pandemic.
