Dr. Beat Richner runs the Kantha Bopha Hospitals and has recently published a brief, eye-opening summary of what they dealt with in 2012. Excerpt, with Dr. Richner's bolding:
Ambulant treatments of sick children in the outpatient stations: 776 625
Hospitalizations of severely sick children: 150 136 (25% more than in 2011 !!)
Surgical operations: 15 764 Deliveries in the maternity: 16 974
Endemics and Epidemics
Among the 150 136 hospitalized children 21 043 children were suffering from an evident Tuberculosis, 28 151 from a severe Hemorrhagic Dengue Fever.
Among the 150 136 hospitalized children thousands and thousands would have died month by month without this hospitalization.
