Been to Royal Phnom Penh Hospital?
Been to Royal Phnom Penh Hospital?
Hi All,
Time for my annual health checkup. I am considering Royal Phnom Penh Hospital- Yes, I read “Good Hospital for a Health Check-Up,” a few posts down in this forum.
But I would be grateful and pleased if anyone who has *been to Royal Phnom Penh Hospital could share their experience(s) with us! Would you recommend this hospital? Why or why not, please.
In the past, I have gone to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for my checkups. But both hospitals I’ve mentioned here belong to the same group- Bangkok Dusit Medical Services- and while my homework is ongoing, it seems that both of these hospitals have the same standards and accreditation.
Since I’ve always been happy with Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, it would be great *if I could get the *same quality of health care* in Phnom Penh- it’s much closer than Pattaya is, for me.
That said, the “Good Hospital for a Health Check-Up” post mentioned good things about Central Hospital, which I’ve never heard of. It’s also in Phnom Penh, I assume. It’s not that important, because I’m happy with the service standards of the Bangkok Dusit group hospital I’ve been to- in Pattaya. *If* the Royal Phnom Penh Hospital offers equivalent standards and service, I will be very pleased!
Thanks for reading!
Cheers Everybody,
Savittre

I only have experience of the Royal, Siem Reap, but, of course, they are part of the same group.
In my view, it is ok for basic treatment or certainly a check up (if no major problems are anticipated) but it is rather limited when it comes to more complicated problems. For the last few weeks, I have been making regular trips to BNH Hospital in Bangkok and they have been truly excellent so far. Tbf, the ENT specialist at 'The Royal' told me
to go to Thailand as I needed a more sophisticated diagnosis than 'The Royal' could offer.
Hope this helps!
PS, 'The Royal' was also more expensive than BNH!
Afterthought: a work colleague recently recommended the Sunrise Japanese Hospital in PP, so it might be worth looking into them.

I had a friend who almost died there because they didn't listen when he told them he was diabetic and kept feeding him via tube without insulin. His liver had almost completely disintegrated before they air-lifted him to Bumrungrad. He lived a few more years after that.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Nice facilities. I stayed there temporarily before medical evacuation to Bangkok.
My wife had gallbladder surgery there, no issues.
My son stayed a couple nights when he was ill and couldn’t keep medicine down or food down.
I think it’s one of the better options in PP, however, it may not be the best. For a checkup? Sure

That would be an incredible story if it were not Cambodia. In the UK, a full inquiry would have been held. These doctors quite literally get away with murder.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 8:09 pmI had a friend who almost died there because they didn't listen when he told them he was diabetic and kept feeding him via tube without insulin.

Up the workers!
To be fair the nurse perhaps misread the doctor notes, doctors do have terrible handwriting.kungfufighter wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 7:59 amThat would be an incredible story if it were not Cambodia.

Bendigo's St John of God Hospital sued for alleged medical negligence over woman's death
It was routine elective surgery to remove a gallstone that should have seen Delphine Murphy discharged from hospital the next day. But Delphine never left the private hospital. She died 12 days later from multiple organ failure.
In a statement claim filed in the Victorian Supreme Court it is alleged a piece of medical equipment used in the procedure was not properly cleaned

Shockingly, 18,000 to 54,000 Australians are killed each year by their medical treatment —official description “iatrogenic death”. These are just ones we know about. Nobody keeps accurate figures.
Medical error is not isolated to just the acutely ill or the critically injured. It’s about the unlucky thousands who trusted the medical system and died.https://www.medicalerroraustralia.com/
HUNTER New England Health has paid out more than $69 million in taxpayer funds for medical mistakes in the past two years, but the local health district will not provide details of the claims, despite having done so in the past.
The health district finalised 105 medical negligence claims between October 1, 2016, and October 1, 2018, at an average cost of more than $650,000.
Hunter New England Health (HNEH) paid out more than $20 million in finalised medical negligence claims in December, 2017, alone, documents obtained under the Government Information (Public Access) Act show. https://www.northerndailyleader.com.au/ ... -mistakes/
And in the USA
According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.

It might be one of the better ones around but I would go to Bangkok for a health check-up if I value my health.
They have the facilities but they certainly do not have enough capable doctors. One of my friends has been severely misdiagnosed there. Some others had better experiences. It all depends on the doctor treating you and especially the foreign ones change often.
Having said that, I do not know where to go in case of an emergency anymore. I mean the kind of stuff that SOS Medical cannot deal with for lack of facilities. Maybe Sunrise?
What do the long term members think?
I would certainly get any sort of serious treatment done abroad at a later point in time. But where to go for the first aid/emergency treatment?

They are really well equipped, have a very good standard of care and are reasonably priced. You can get a get a comprehensive health check done, including kidney and liver function tests. Blood test results will usually be available within the hour as they have an onsite lab.
I think health check packages vary from from about $140 to $240 depending on complexity. You can go in and confirm prices with ms. Geli, the admin manager, but if you elect to have a series of tests the following is what I would expect. Consultation $20, diagnostic cardiac ultrasound and ECG around $50. Blood tests cost mostly between $1 and $2 each. You can discuss which you really need,it will probably be around four or five.
If you want to go to Sunrise, just make sure that you have your emergency Monday to Saturday. I went there with a broken clavicle on a Sunday last year and they had 'no doctor'.
Ended up at Royal, thought it was OK, but not to the same standard as BNH Bangkok.

you would have been too full of alcohol to survive an operation (anaesthetic) anyway - not that some would have used that as a reason to postpone surgery.slavedog wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:00 amIf you want to go to Sunrise, just make sure that you have your emergency Monday to Saturday.
