Breakfast Speaker: Dr Anita Bourke presenting on the Nokor Tep Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
A humbling breakfast listening to respected senior breast radiologist from Sir Charles Gairdner hospital Breast Centre, Dr Anita Bourke. The statistics of diagnosis and treatment is are chilling and the construction of the Nokor Tep Women's Hospital, the first hospital in Cambodia dedicated to women's health which will enable women to receive access to modern gynaecological and oncological care as well as preventative and educational services.
Wonderful to get an update from Rotarian and Committee Member, John Holman on the current status of the project. All progressing well and our $25,000 contribution is being put to use as part of the building refurbishment.
The Men's Shed will provide a space for men to pursue meaningful interests and hobbies such as craft work, DIY and cooking, with activities are designed to encourage camaraderie and friendships to develop whilst supporting members with regular sessions from qualified professionals in tackling depression and older men’s health issues.
A great initiative across Australia and one West Perth Rotary Club is proud to support.
