Never heard of it.

Japan to export hospitals to Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia
The government and the private sector will jointly "export hospitals" to Russia, China, Vietnam and Cambodia as part of Japan's efforts to make its medical services a key pillar of economic growth.
The idea is to spread the positive reputation of Japanese medical services abroad to encourage more high-income foreigners to visit Japan for treatment.
Under the project, a first for Japan, Japanese doctors and nurses will be dispatched abroad starting in autumn, along with medical equipment provided by Japanese manufacturers, such as Terumo Corp., Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. and Panasonic Corp.
The government will use 350 million yen (about $4.4 million) earmarked by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in a fiscal 2010 supplementary budget for internationalization of medical services.
However, the Japan Medical Association (JMA), the largest domestic doctors' organization, said internationalization of medical services will expand markets not covered by public health insurance programs, which will pose a threat to insurance programs that enable patients to receive medical services at low costs.
"There is a possibility that hospitals will put priority on seeking benefits and, as a result, hinder medical services in local communities," a JMA official said.
Medical fees paid from public health insurance programs constitute the main source of income of hospitals in Japan.
Japanese public health insurance programs do not cover fees for medical tourism to Japan.
Six programs have been chosen for feasibility studies in the hospital export plan.
In one program, Southern Tohoku General Hospital in Fukushima Prefecture and other organizations will open a high-level medical service center in a private hospital in Moscow. The center will specialize in treatments using endoscopes.
In Vladivostok in Russia's Far East, Hokuto Hospital in Hokkaido and other institutions will open a radiography center equipped with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices.
The University of Tokyo Hospital and other organizations will open a medical institution in Shanghai that specializes in diabetes. The number of patients suffering from lifestyle-related diseases is increasing amid China's economic development.
In Beijing, Asada General Hospital in Kagawa Prefecture and other institutions will offer high-level health checks and create a database for patient information.
In Cambodia, Kitahara International Hospital in Tokyo will offer emergency medical services and rehabilitation programs in a local hospital, and build the country's first emergency medical center in fiscal 2012.
The Japanese government in June last year decided to make medical, nursing and health-related services new growth industries.
The government plans to produce 1 trillion yen in economic effects and create 50,000 jobs through exports of hospitals and medical tourism by 2020.

Something like private clinics/hospitals have to be owned by a Cambodian citizen, you can find one foreign born doctor who has a Cambodian passport in PP. As for 1 to 10 law I don't know but get your prostate checked out and you can get further details.giblet wrote:I heard from a doctor that Cambodia has some sort of law that hospitals that staff foreign doctors need to also staff Khmer doctors, at a 1 to 10 ratio. Anyone know if this is true?

I've also heard a few horror stories from a Western doc in town who treated some patients post an expensive Rattanak stay. He was the one that told me there's a 10 Khmer doctors for every 1 foreign doctor rule in hospitals. Although there are some good Khmer doctors, the sad truth is that most have not had the education or training that most of us would find sufficient.
