For serious
medical emergencies
consider flying to Bangkok, although clinics and hospitals in Phnom Penh are equipped to deal with most ailments
. Sihanoukville and Siem Reap have limited facilities, but generally medical facilities outside Phnom Penh are poor. If you are stuck in the provinces and require emergency evacuation to Phnom Penh, contact AEA International on tel 023/216911. We've listed general emergency telephone numbers, but whatever the emergency, it's probably best to contact the English-speaking operators
, available 24 hours.
Street-corner
pharmacies
throughout Cambodia are well-stocked with basic supplies diverted from NGOs, and money rather than a prescription gives easy access to anything available, though beware of out-of-date medication. Standard shop hours apply at most of these places, but some stay open in the evening. More reputable operations with English and French-speaking pharmacists can be found in Phnom Penh, where a wider variety of specialized drugs are available. Some even offer 24-hour service
