What are healthcare services like in Kampot?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Kampot. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Kampot are relatively basic, especially when compared to Western standards. The city has a few hospitals and clinics, but they are often understaffed and lack modern medical equipment. Many of the doctors and nurses have limited training, and there can be language barriers for foreigners as most medical staff do not speak English fluently. Pharmacies are widely available throughout the city, but the quality and availability of medications can be inconsistent. It's also common for medications to be sold without a prescription. For serious medical conditions or emergencies, it is often necessary to travel to the capital city, Phnom Penh, or even to another country like Thailand or Vietnam, where the healthcare services are more advanced. Despite these challenges, there are some NGOs and international organizations working to improve healthcare in Kampot and other parts of Cambodia. They provide training for local healthcare workers, donate medical equipment, and offer free or low-cost medical services to the local population. Health insurance is not common in Kampot, and most people pay for healthcare services out of pocket. The cost of healthcare is relatively low compared to Western countries, but it can still be a significant burden for many Cambodians. Overall, while healthcare services in Kampot are improving, they still have a long way to go to meet the needs of the local population and foreign visitors," commented one expat who made the move to Kampot, Cambodia.
