A modern private hospital on Russian Federation Boulevard in Sen Sok, run by Bangkok Dusit Medical Services — the group behind Thailand’s Bangkok Hospital chain — and open since 2014. It has a 24-hour emergency department, its own ambulances and the broadest specialist cover in Cambodia, and it has held Joint Commission International accreditation since 2017. It is also the hospital best placed to hand a patient over cleanly when a case has to move to Bangkok.
What it is known for
Being the hospital insurers name. Royal Phnom Penh opened in 2014 and is managed by Bangkok Dusit Medical Services, the Thai group behind the Bangkok Hospital chain, so its procedures, records and referral routes are the ones a foreign insurer already recognises. It has held Joint Commission International accreditation since 2017, which almost nothing else in Cambodia has, and it runs a 24-hour emergency department, its own ambulances and an insurance contact centre that will check a policy before treatment begins. Its specialist cover — cardiology, orthopaedics, surgery, obstetrics, paediatrics and imaging — is the broadest in the country, though it is not a Bangkok teaching hospital and does not pretend to be.
Who it suits
Almost any traveller who is insured, and anyone who would rather be treated in English than explain themselves twice. The hospital publishes in Khmer, English, Chinese and Japanese, and its contact centre handles insurance verification, so it is the practical first call for a fever that will not break, a fracture, a road accident or a stomach infection that has gone on too long. It is also the hospital most likely to organise a clean transfer if the case turns out to be beyond what Phnom Penh can treat. Uninsured travellers should ask what a stay will cost before agreeing to be admitted, because the answer is a long way above the local average.
Cost and insurance
The most expensive hospital in Phnom Penh, priced closer to Bangkok than to the rest of Cambodia. The hospital says patients holding private cover, Thai or international, may be treated under its agreements with insurers, but it asks you to verify coverage through its contact centre before treatment, and anything beyond what the policy pays is yours to settle. Assume payment in United States dollars, and assume a deposit or an insurer’s written guarantee before an admission. Ring your policy’s 24-hour assistance line first if there is time at all: it can open the claim, confirm the guarantee and, if it comes to that, start the evacuation conversation early.
Getting there
On Russian Federation Boulevard in Sen Sok, on the airport side of the city — roughly fifteen minutes from Phnom Penh International Airport and twenty-five to thirty from the riverside, longer in the late-afternoon crush. Grab and PassApp cars both know it, and so does any tuk-tuk driver once you name the boulevard. In an emergency call the hospital’s own line on +855 23 991 222 rather than driving yourself; it is answered around the clock and the hospital runs its own ambulances.
Details checked against the hospital’s own website, September 2026. Call before a non-urgent visit; in an emergency call 119 or the hospital’s own emergency line above. Travel information, not medical advice.
