As a foreigner living in Sihanoukville, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Sihanoukville if they have access to public healthcare in Sihanoukville. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Sihanoukville, you will have access to public healthcare, but it's important to note that the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you're accustomed to in Western countries. The public healthcare system in Cambodia is generally under-resourced and understaffed, with limited facilities and equipment. Many doctors and nurses in public hospitals do not speak English, which can make communication difficult. Furthermore, public hospitals in Cambodia often require upfront payment, even for emergency services. For these reasons, many expatriates and tourists choose to use private clinics or hospitals, which offer a higher standard of care but at a significantly higher cost. It's also common for foreigners to travel to Thailand or Vietnam for more complex medical procedures. Therefore, it's highly recommended to have comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation," wrote a member who made the move to Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
