DAP-NEWS

Vietnamese side and joint venture with a local Cambodian company invested 40 million US dollars to build a modern hospital in Phnom Penh of Cambodia and the officially opening ceremony of the groundbreaking will preside over by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen tomorrow.

This afternoon, Phnom Penh governor Ke Chupmeta, and tycoon Sok Kong joined together with Vietnamese side to celebrate the Buddhist ceremony for the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow.

“This new hospital will help reduce the number of the local Cambodian people to travel aboard for the medical treatment and health check-up,” Phnom Penh governor said, adding that it also saves time and money expenditure for the treatment.

“It will equip modern technology facilities and international standard one in the city,” he said.

This hospital will construct on 5 hectares of land in Mean Chey district of Phnom Penh.

I wonder if this is a private health care provider, right? It is not public, right?

I have no idea, but many hospitals in Phnom Penh (especially the good one) are owned by the private providers.

Bangkok Hospital to build third facility in Cambodia

By THE NATION Published on July 28, 2010


Bangkok Hospital Medical Centre plans to build a third hospital in Phnom Penh now that its two existing facilities in Cambodia are operating at full capacity.


CEO Chatree Duangnet recently said the new hospital would be of a similar size to and offer much the same services as Bangkok Hospital in Soi Soonvijai, Bangkok.


The company expects the third hospital to complete construction and become operational by the end of next year.


The investment budget for the new facility has yet to be finalised, he said.


Bangkok Hospital is also planning to open medical centres in Vietnam and Laos in the second half of this year, following the success of the first such clinic in Burma, said Chatree.


The number of Burmese patients coming to Bangkok Hospital in Thailand in the first half of this year increased by 40 per cent year on year.


As regards investment in Thailand, Bangkok Hospital will allocate Bt700 million to set up a hospital in Khao Yai, in Nakhon Ratchasima province. It will be a medium-size facility with 60 to 70 beds, and the company expects to complete construction by the end of this year.


The CEO said earlier that Bangkok Hospital had purchased land on Mitraphab Road adjacent to the Outlet Village, and that it was designing the new hospital.


Chatree said foreign patient numbers, particularly those from the Middle East, had rebounded to the normal level since the end of the political mayhem in May.


For example, patient numbers from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in the first half of the year increased by 5 per cent and 105 per cent, respectively.


Bualuang Securities forecast in its research that the net profit of Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BMDS), which owns Bangkok Hospital, in the third and fourth quarters of this year would be markedly higher than in the second quarter, when the hospital was affected by the political turmoil. Besides, it is the high season for Middle East patients visiting Thailand for medical purposes.


The brokerage estimated BMDS's second-quarter net profit at Bt312 million, its lowest quarterly earnings this year. This would represent 7-per-cent year-on-year growth, but a drop of 59 per cent quarter on quarter.


Spending per patient increased by 7 per cent in the first quarter and 5 per cent in the second quarter, despite a decline in the number of patients. This was largely due to a rise in the number of patients visiting the Kingdom for the treatment of complex diseases.

Cambodia needs much more Hospitals in the Villages because in Villages are much Lanbdmines and the Landmine Victims take too long to drive to Phnom Penh.

Japanese neurosurgical institute plans to open general hospital in Cambodia

A rendition of the large-scale general hospital planned by Kitahara Neurosurgical Institute to be built in Cambodia. (Image by Kitahara Neurosurgical Institute)Kitahara Neurosurgical Institute, one of Japan's leading neurosurgical medical centers, is planning to open a large-scale general hospital in Cambodia early next year, a first for a Japanese hospital, it has been learned.

Officials at the hospital are aiming to set up a facility with emergency care capabilities in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh in February. The facility will offer medical services to both Japanese citizens living in Cambodia and to citizens of Cambodia, where a wealthy class has begun to grow. Doctors at the facility will also work to improve the level of medical technology in the country.

Over the course of seven years, officials plan to build both a medical college and a large general hospital with around 1,000 hospital beds that will bring in patients from countries around Southeast Asia. Officials plan to make the hospital a private corporation that will receive its funding from private sector investors and hope to have the hospital listed on Cambodia's stock market.

The hospital will be equipped with advanced, Japanese-made medical equipment. "We want to export medical and environmental technologies to Southeast Asia," says Shigemi Kitahara, chair of the board of directors of Kitahara Neurosurgical Institute. With pressing competition from Germany in the export of medical equipment, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) has decided to lend its support to the project and is currently working out the specifics of how it will do so.

The hospital will not be the first Japanese medical facility in Asia -- a medical facility in Okayama Prefecture previously opened doctor's offices in Shanghai and other locations. However, with the decreasing population in Japan and medical costs already as high as the government will permit, running a hospital in Japan is becoming more financially difficult. Other leading hospitals in Tokyo have also begun considering expanding abroad, marking a change in direction for what has traditionally been a domestic-oriented industry.

In Cambodia, which is suffering from a severe shortage of doctors, it is possible to practice with a Japanese medical license. Furthermore, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations plans to liberalize the use of medical services across different member nations, which is expected to allow hospitals to easily expand into other countries after establishing bases in Cambodia.

A spokesperson for International Design Japan, a consulting company that assists with the development of medical services abroad, says that in the last six months, the number of consultations with medical facilities about expanding overseas was three times greater than during the same period last year, with as many as 40 consultations on some days.

"Doctors are increasingly worried that because of drops in tax revenues, national and local governments may not be able to pay enough in insurance payments to keep hospitals going," says company representative Katsuhisa Kawasaki.

Meanwhile, a Tokyo dentist who plans to expand business to Cambodia says, "There is a serious problem of people refraining from going to the hospital in Japan because of the recession. The age when doctors could rely on a steady income is over."

Managing director Tsutomu Horikawa of Akita-based Sano Drug Group, which manages pharmacies and wholesale medical supplies, says, "We have to shift our focus from Japan, with its declining population, to overseas." Next spring, the group will begin offering a 24-hour translation service in Guangzhou, China, geared for Japanese patients.

Thanks to factors such as its economic growth, Asia is expected by countries around the world to experience a surge in demand for medical services, and competition among these countries to attract doctors is already beginning. If the number of doctors and hospitals in Japan giving up on Japan's medical system and shrinking market and moving overseas increases, some fear one result will be a hollowing out of Japan's medical services.

Thats great news. Japan is ready to contribute for economic development in Cambodia. We hope to see investmemt fro Japan :)

Very nice hospital !! :)

Cambodia needs much more Hospitals in the Villages because in Villages are much Lanbdmines and the Landmine Victims take too long to drive to Phnom Penh.

How many people are injured / killed by landmine each year? And how many hospital do you need so they are reachable by all these people.

Is probably cheaper to air-lift all of them to Phnom Penh. But obviously, you still needs hundreds of clinics in remote country side to handle people that got sick.

Is there a world class (probably expensive) dental hospital? Something people can trust without any doubt. Hygenie, and all that.

Up until now i don't see any ''World Class'' hospital here in Phnom Penh. Calmette Hospital is prefered by many locals. Is there a dental department within the hospital?

^^ Pachem is a good dental clinic

I had my teeth refilled with them a few year. They did an exceptional job but very expensive compare others locally. However, the dental assistants were very cute, that compensates the high price.

How much did you pay?

couldn't remember exactly, but around $60.

$60 per filling, that is not too bad, compare to local fees, maybe it is a bit steep, I pay around that each time I visit the Thai Hospital.

I am wondering if there is any Parkinson's disease experts/medical facilities in Cambodia. or neighbouring countries.

^^^
Either at Bumrungraj Hospital (the most espensive treatments in Thailand) or Siriraj Hospital (the medical school whose physicians have almost always been assigned to treat His Majesty) ....

Other than than, Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (Thai Red Cross HQ) or major Government Hospitals and Major Pivate Hospitals would be the alternatives.

I haven't see this post when I visit Rattanak yesterday, so I did not try SOS, for the record, Rattanak doesn't have an eye specialist.

I visited Sen Sok, they do have eye specialist, but they only work some day of the week and only in the afternoon, but no one is available yesterday.

So I visit the eye center, that you don't recommend, they seems to know what they are doing, I just need to get some good eye drop and cream, it is not an operation or something. The doctor that look after me looks more Chinese then Khmer.I apply the eye drop and cream and it does feel better now, the reddish has improved.

The doctor recommend me to use sunglasses, can anyone recommend a good optometrist (that speaks English and/or Chinese) in PP, that has a good selections of glasses with competitive prices.

^^ Where is this franchise going to be locate in Cambodia.

It looks more like an high end apartment suite.

a normal room here in Rattanak will be something like $500 a night, how much do they plan to charge?

Despite there are a good number of very rich people here, are there enough to make this profitable?

How do u know it is opening soon? Any reliable source? Thanks :)

I actually work at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. I welcome averagely 10 patients who come from Cambodia everyday. I wonder that if Cambodian people feel more convenient using Vietnam medical treatment than Cambodian medical treatment ? Do Cambodian patient seeking treatment in Thailand too ?

I know people that goes to vietnam to get treatment, they usually speaks vietnamese, I guess it has nothing to do with convenience but Vietnam public hospital is more reliable then the public hospital here.

The poor stay with locals, the lower middle class or those who know Vietnamese go to Vietnam, usually Saigon, the upper middle class or those with enough money go to Bangkok, and the rich goes to Singapore. This what I heard from friends in Cambodia.

Having said that, unless they are rich, they go outside the country mostly for treatment that they can't find in local hospitals, mostly surgery and cancer treatments.

It is good to hear that and it is good for me to know where to go as well in case it happens to me while I am there in Phnom Penh on vacation (short or long term). In fact, I should thank you for bringing this matter up because it happens to me all the time when visiting South East Asia.

My friend's mother went to Singapore to have a cancer treatment. The family spent a lot of money. But she still died, at the end.

If it is a stage 4 cancer, it does not matter where you go - you still die. Even god would not help. All you get is a buying time. But, if it is in an early stage, then good treatment in a good place helps.

No one can guarantee survival, but I believe your chance are always better if treatment is in Singapore or Hong Kong.

Malaysia touts medical tourism

The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council’s (MHTC) senior official expects the number of Cambodian medical tourists travelling to Malaysia will be double this year after more and more healthcare promotions will be held in the Kingdom.

Mary Wong Lai Lin, chief executive of MHTC told reporters last week at a tourism conference in Kuala Lumpur that a lot of Cambodian people are travelling abroad each year to places including Malaysia where they like to take time to get a health check-up.

“We hope to increase that [number] by double. We started in certain countries where we do promotions to just a small number [of people] but we saw numbers [of tourists] more than double,” she said.

“What we are doing with the promotions is assisting us, it helps us to build awareness and to showcase Malaysia to Cambodia. We hope to increase this awareness. We hope that there will be more people from Cambodia and Vietnam getting treatment during their visit here.”

“So, by word of mouth, when they know there is good [treatment available] they will share with friends and family. With this, we will increase further,” she added.

MHTC’s data showed that some 1,308 Cambodian’s had medical treatment in Malaysia during their visit last year. However, Mary Wong Lai Lin, said the number is still low compared to other medical tourists in the region.

“I think that right now we lack these kind of promotional activities in Cambodia. I think the other [promoters] from Singapore and Thailand are doing it very often [in Cambodia].

“We only go to Cambodia once a year so that once-a-year program may not be sufficient to create [enough] awareness in Cambodia.

“We hope to come back more often to Cambodia or to Vietnam and Laos to do promotions,” she said.

Ang Kim Eang, president of the Cambodia Association of Travel Agents, said that Malaysia is the main tourism destination for Cambodian people. “Actually, about 50,000 Cambodians visit Malaysia every year. While on their trip, some of them also take time for a medical check-up.”

“Now, the Malaysian government is promoting tourism to medical tourists, I definitely think that more and more people will be there particularly for medical treatment because they can get the high standard medical quality with well-trained doctors and affordable price compared to Singapore, Thailand, US and Australia,” he said.

Mary Wong Lai Lin said the Malaysian price is 25 per cent of the US price, while Thailand’s price is about 30 per cent, Singapore about 35 per cent and India 20 per cent.

“So, Malaysia is not the cheapest in the world but it is very affordable because it is very low compared to the US. We use US as the benchmark,” she said, adding that Malaysia had received about 392,00 healthcare travellers in 2010 and it has grown to 671,000 in 2012.

1. I don't think there are medical tourist in Australia, their price is a joke.
2. It is so wrong for a SE Asia country to compare price to places like US and Australia to make your price pretty.

The only place comparable with the US in Southeast Asia is Singapore (Cost of living and average income levels are similar of US or even higher)
