Several people on both sides were killed, thousands were forced to leave their homes and are now displaced. \u201cEMDR Cambodia wanted to become active immediately, but has limited resources\u201d, says Naysim Hong, member of the Executive Committee. \u201cTherefore, we mainly try to support hospitals and health centres in the region with whom we are in contact already. Besides health workers like doctors and nurses, we see the local authorities as key persons.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;row_remark&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;col_remark&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text_detail text_blog_quote&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1756441187686{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;]We are sure \u00a0that these workshops are sustainable, because we train the trainers resp. the key persons.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text_detail&#8221;]<strong>Training key persons for sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stakeholders mentioned live in the provinces of Siem Reap, Battambang, Takeo and Kampong Chhnang.
