On 21 January 2016, H.E. Naveen Srivastava, Ambassador of India to Cambodia, visited Centre for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CCAMH) at Chey Chumneas Hospital, Kandal province.  CCAMH is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.  India has been associated with this hospital since 1980s and has provided not only equipment but also deputed Indian doctors to assist Cambodian friends and help build the capacity.
