Cambodia - Health

Nov 30, 2024

The health service is poor and evacuation is recommended for any medical emergency  Most medical facilities in Cambodia do not meet international standards.  A few internationally run clinics and hospitals in Siam Reap and Phnom Penh can provide basic medical care and stabilization.   Travellers should take precautions with food and water from street vendors.

Yellow Fever

Although Yellow Fever is not a disease risk in Cambodia, the government requires travellers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever virus transmission to show proof of yellow fever vaccination.

Tuberculosis

Cambodia has one of the highest rates of active tuberculosis (TB).

Mosquito-borne Diseases

Malaria prophylaxis is recommended. Dengue Fever is widespread.

Recommended Vaccinations

Travellers should be protected against Hepatitis A&B and Typhoid Fever.

If travelling to Cambodia for more than one month, or if you expect to spend time in heavily rural areas, a Japanese Encephalitis vaccination is strongly recommended.

Avian Bird Flu

There have been outbreaks of Bird Flu resulting in a small number of human fatalities. Avoid live animal markets, poultry farms and places where you may come into close contact with domestic, caged or wild birds and ensure poultry and egg dishes are properly cooked.
