Assignment

Available for over a year

John Murphy is in rural Cambodia, following the work of unlicensed doctors. The government says it is clamping down on unlicensed health workers. But what about the fascination with injections and IV drips – often given by these unqualified doctors. Why do Cambodians want them above anything else? (Photo: A frequent sight on Cambodia’s roads – a portable intravenous drip, on a motorbike.)
