In Cambodia, as in all the poor countries of the world, the WHO and UNICEF have for the past 25 years favoured a type of medicine based on "primary health care". For 11 years, the Swiss pediatrician Beat Richner, alias Beatocello, has been championing another vision of humanitarian medicine. The three hospitals he has set up in Cambodia meet European standards and today care for 80% of the country's sick children. 4.5 million children have already been treated there. The film "Blood or Money" shows the clash of two health systems built on conflicting philosophies. For the first time, a camera takes us inside the Cambodian public health service (supported by international organisations) and enables concrete comparisons to be made. The film brings the impassioned debate between these two worlds into the open and casts new light on a situation which for too long has remained hidden from the public gaze.
