On February 7th two of our SPECT team members met with Safe Surgery team members at Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This meeting was ground-breaking for so many reasons, but most importantly, it signals the beginning of SPECT’s expansion into South East Asia. As you can see from the photo, participating members of the Cambodian hospital leadership welcomed us with open arms and are just as excited to get started as we are!
