A new photo exhibition entitled “Together We Care”, organized by DSF (Douleurs Sans Frontières) and IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), depicts ‘moments of joy, tenderness, and resilience — moments where patients forget, just for a little while, the pain or the fear they might be feeling.

The exhibition, hosted at F3 (Friends Futures Factory) between January 16th and February 16th, features the work of renowned photographer Miguel Jeronimo.
It also features the incredible work of the art students from the Royal University of Fine Arts. Their paintings are full of color, hope, and life. They reflect the strength and courage of our patients, especially the women who are bravely facing cancer.
The organisers say : “We hope this exhibition inspires everyone who sees it to take better care of themselves and their loved ones”. They add:
“Because talking about illness helps us fight it together. And when we act together, we create a culture where no one feels alone or ashamed because of their health challenges. Together, we’re proving that care is something we build as a community. And together, we’re making a real difference.”
For 30 years, DSF has been a beacon of hope for the vulnerable populations, delivering medical care across 11 provinces and pioneering innovations like home-based care and teleconsultations.
DSF’s advocacy extends beyond treatment. They collaborate with the Ministry of Health and organise sensitisation campaigns to address healthcare gaps.
Their efforts have been recognised by the WHO, further highlighting the importance of their mission. A cornerstone of DSF’s work is reducing the stigma surrounding illnesses like cancer. In many Cambodian communities, such diagnoses are often misunderstood or shrouded in silence.
