Signification
Place for medical treatment.
Contexte culturel
It is customary to bring fruit (like oranges or grapes) and milk/energy drinks when visiting someone in the hospital. Many Cambodians believe in 'Khyol' (wind) as a cause of illness. Even in a modern hospital, you might see patients with red marks on their necks from 'coining' (kous khyol). Monks have specific hospitals or dedicated wards in Cambodia, reflecting their high social status. In remote areas, the 'Mondir-pet' might be far away, so people rely on 'Mondol Sokhapheap' (Health Centers) for primary care.
