Exactly what I experienced with their hospital in Siem Reap, LOL!Old_major wrote:If you are planning to give birth to a child in Cambodia I wouldn't go to Royal Rattanak. Don't trust someone blindly because the say they are “Thai-trained” or they “have western doctors”. My wife went there once being pregnant in the 8th month. She had a strong pain in her abdomen during the night. Because they had their emergency number and advertisements for their gynaecologists plastered over all newspapers we believed at that time that Royal Rattanak was the place to go in such a case.
Guess what? They did an ultrasound and came to the conclusion that it was indeed a serious situation that demanded immediate and decisive action ….
…. and called a taxi to bring my wife to Calmette Hospital...
Of course they wouldn't let her go unless she paid the the bill of 280 USD. In the end our son was born at Calmette by Caesarean during an emergency operation. It was just a waste of money and precious time.
Besides, I wouldn't entrust the life of my newborn to someone who doesn't manage to pay the bill for his domain in time:
“This account has been suspended.
Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources. “
In case of an emergency I would go straight to Calmette. A lot of forum members will cry foul but according to my knowledge Calmette is the only hospital that has an operation room that is on standby 24 hours and has incubators at ready.
I don't know about Sen Sok though.

It's a catchment for Bangkok Air, their 'doctors' are either interns from Thailand or on a 3 month rotation from Thailand.
