MC Lisha, pioneer of Cambodian rap, fights against tuberculosis: an urgent call for solidarity

Jessica Srin, better known by her stage name MC Lisha, is an iconic figure in Cambodian rap and one of the first women to make a mark in this male-dominated musical field. However, behind her fame, the young artist is going through a critical ordeal today: she is fighting tuberculosis, a disease that threatens her life and requires urgent medical care.

For several years, MC Lisha has suffered from serious health problems. Despite her efforts to buy the necessary medication herself, her condition has not improved. The situation worsened to the point that she had to be admitted to Preah Ang Duong hospital in Phnom Penh to receive specialized treatment. Her fragile medical condition further complicates this battle.

At the heart of this crisis, MC Lisha's family faces significant financial pressure. Her mother, who is responsible for her care, struggles to cover the cost of treatments, which prolongs the uncertainty about her recovery.

The artist, highly appreciated in the Khmer hip-hop scene, today makes a passionate call for public solidarity and financial help. She hopes that the local and international community will help her overcome this critical phase.

This fight also reveals the difficulty of access to care for diseases like tuberculosis in Cambodia, despite advances in public health. MC Lisha is the voice of a generation demanding more resources and support for patients in the country.

MC Lisha's story is a testimony reminding that fame does not protect from life's trials. Her journey inspires and mobilizes, hoping that music and mutual aid can overcome obstacles.

Donations and support can make a vital difference for MC Lisha, who continues to proudly represent the Cambodian music scene while facing this difficult trial.
