Dear Khmer440 Forumers,
I am Manuel L. Genabe III and I am currently based in the Philippines. I am one of the partners of a medical facility called Immunoboosters located along Makati Avenue, Makati City - the CBD of the country. The other partners are all medical professionals. I basically handle operations, marketing, finance and business development. Part of the ASEAN integration is the ability of Philippine-trained physicians to register with the Medical Council of Cambodia and practice medicine in Cambodia - I believe this is part of the MRA amongst the member nations. Because of this, we would like to take advantage of the MRA and planning to expand to PP as part of our Asean Integration plans. We basically want to put up a Medical Clinic that can do overnight (less than 24hours) in-clinic treatments such as IV antibiotics, run blood tests, etc.
Before we could finalize what service list we would provide the PP market, we would need you help in answering some questions.
Questions are:
1. How much are the consultation fees for a foreign-trained physician? How much do you pay when you see a non-Khmer doctor or a foreign doctor? Or if you haven't seen one yet, up to how much are you willing to pay for it?
2. What area is the most convenient for the expats community since this is the target market that we would like to touch on (just the same market that we have currently in the Philippines being in the CBD)?
3. What are the common medical concerns? Was there a time that you went to a doctor in PP and you were misdiagnosed and not treated? And have to go to a hospital?
4. Do you buy your medicines from the doctors that have diagnosed you or you ask for a prescription and you buy it somewhere else?
5. What is the most reliable clinical/medical laboratory for bloodworks/blood tests? How much is the average amount that you've spent there?
I would appreciate if you could spend just 2 minutes of your time. We would be needing the answers to the aforementioned questions so that we could develop the proper and appropriate services to render in the Cambodian (specifically PP) market.
On the other hand, if you have suggestions and comments re the current available medical services and service providers in PP and you want us to improve them, please do not hesitate to let us know. It would really help us in the service development of this project.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to revert back to this post.
Your immediate response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!
Sincerely yours,
Manuel L. Genabe III
Immunoboosters Co.
