Medical services in Phnom Penh: Though the medical facilities are still limited and in many cases not up to international standards, there has been much improvement in recent years, offering a greater range and quality of services. There are several foreign doctors and international clinics in town, most listed below. Calmette Hospital and the international clinics can handle most medical problems but serious illness or injury may still require medical evacuation, probably to Bangkok or Singapore. In addition to general medical services, the international clinics also offer evacuation and medical translation services. Though the cost of medical care is fairly nominal in Cambodia, the cost of medical evacuation is exorbitant. Medical insurance including evacuation insurance is highly advisable.

In case of medical emergency, proceed to the main hospital (Calmette Hospital) or one of the major international clinics such as International SOS. Be aware that the ambulance services are not always prompt and the emergency telephone numbers sometimes go unanswered. Also be aware that only a couple of the foreign clinics accept insurance. Most places including the hospital expect cash or credit card payment at time of treatment.
