FOR VISITORS & RESIDENTS
Have a plan
before you need it.
- 01
Carry proper insurance
Choose cover that includes private hospitals, direct billing where possible and medical evacuation for treatment unavailable locally.
- 02
Save emergency contacts
Keep your chosen hospital, insurer and emergency transport numbers available offline—not only inside an app.
- 03
Ask who will treat you
Verify the specialist’s qualifications, experience with the procedure and the hospital’s relevant facilities.
- 04
Get costs in writing
Request an itemised estimate and confirm deposits, exclusions and insurance approval before planned treatment.
- 05
Know when to transfer
For highly complex trauma, oncology, neonatal, cardiac or neurological cases, seek independent advice on whether regional transfer is appropriate.
THE HONEST PICTURECambodia is improving
Cambodia is improving
fast.
The strongest facilities are concentrated in Phnom Penh, and care outside major cities can be limited. That does not erase the progress: new hospitals, international partnerships, better diagnostics and professional training are expanding what can be treated inside the country every year.
