Kenro Izu – 2014 World of Children Health Award
Published on Nov 13, 2014
http://www.worldofchildren.org/kenro – Kenro is the recipient of our 2014 Health Award. Kenro founded Friends Without A Border, a children’s hospital in Cambodia, which has treated over 1.2 million children in Southeast Asia and provided advanced training to thousands of health workers. And now his award will go towards establishing the Lao Friends Hospital for Children in Luang Prabang, Laos.
Since 1999, Friends without a Board (FWAB) has treated over 1.2 million children and provided advanced training to thousands of health workers. Today, construction is complete and a similar state-of-the-art pediatric teaching hospital in Laos, the Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC), is open. Funding from World of Children Award helped FWAB construct and equip this new hospital in Laos.
“Our goal is to build LFHC as the major education center of pediatric health care and create a positive impact on health care for the whole country,” Kenro said.
