Khmer Dr's & Western Dr's!

[Uncle Monty]

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?

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.

Monty seems obsessed with his regular prostate checks. Note, he still prefers the old fashion method of inspection...

Khmer doctors? Witch specific doctors are you asking about

I know first hand of medical malpractice there that left the patient hobbling around for life. don't trust the hype.

Come on guys - you can see a well qualified Cambodian or Thai doctor at Rattanak hospital for $15-20 dollar fee - the only trouble is that you have to pay for everything else used or thought about, and the fees for drugs etc are high so you always end up paying $50 or so in total. When I say well qualified, the surgeon I saw last time there had 30 years experience in Florida after completing specialisation. At least they post pics of all their doctors on the wall with their CVs underneath so you can see where they studied and what jobs they have had since graduation. This is something I would like to see in the west in waiting rooms. The standards for equipment etc are first class

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.
