Siem Reap, Cambodia. 4 major hospitals, 1 public, 3 private.
Four hospitals — one international, one Cambodian private, the provincial public hospital and a children’s charity — with addresses, phone numbers and maps, and a plain account of what is not here.
If you only read one thing
For anything major the realistic plan is stabilisation here and a flight to Bangkok, so check before you travel that your policy covers medical evacuation — and in a life-or-death emergency call 119 or go straight to the nearest emergency room.
Siem Reap is a provincial town that receives an extraordinary number of visitors, and its hospitals reflect both halves of that sentence. There are four worth knowing: Royal Angkor International on the old airport road, built for foreign patients and run inside Thailand’s Bangkok Hospital group; Neak Tep, the Cambodian private hospital that most resident foreigners use and much the cheaper of the two; the provincial referral hospital in the middle of town, which is the public system and the low-cost option; and Angkor Hospital for Children, a donor-funded charity with some of the best paediatric care in the country, which treats children only.
That is the whole list, and it is worth being plain about what it means. These hospitals handle the ordinary run of travel illness and injury perfectly well — heat, stomach infections, fevers that need a blood test, cuts, sprains and broken bones. For major trauma, complex surgery or sustained intensive care the treatment is in Bangkok, about an hour away by air, which is why insurance covering medical evacuation matters more here than almost anywhere else in the region. Details below were checked in September 2026 against each hospital’s own website, and against the United States embassy’s Cambodia medical list and Cambodian business directories where a hospital publishes nothing; numbers change, so if one fails, call 119.

Read the full pageFor anything serious, and for anything at all if you have travel insurance, go to Royal Angkor International Hospital on National Route 6: it has the emergency and trauma department, the intensive care unit and a referral route into the Bangkok Hospital group in Thailand. For an everyday problem — a stomach infection, a fever, stitches, a sprain, a vaccination — Neak Tep Hospital is open around the clock, works in English and costs a fraction as much. Without insurance or money, Siem Reap Provincial Referral Hospital in the centre is the public option, and where a 119 ambulance will usually take you. For a sick child, Angkor Hospital for Children is the strongest paediatric care in the province and its emergency room never closes — but it treats children only.
Three tiers, and the gaps between them are wide. The provincial referral hospital charges very little, in dollars or riel, and expects payment before you leave. Neak Tep publishes its price list: roughly US$20–30 for a consultation, an emergency service charge of about US$40–100, an intensive-care room around US$50 a day, major surgery from a few hundred dollars up. Royal Angkor is priced like a Western private hospital and runs several times that for the same visit — worth every dollar with insurance, painful without it. Angkor Hospital for Children asks families who can afford it for a flat contribution of about US$5 for an outpatient visit. Ask for a written estimate before any procedure, and treat every figure here as indicative rather than a quote.
Bring the policy documents and the assistance number, and use them early. Royal Angkor bills an insurer directly only where the insurer sends an official guarantee of payment — before the visit for outpatient treatment, and as a written guarantee-of-payment letter for an admission; the hospital states plainly that a verbal confirmation is not enough and that you are liable if the insurer then refuses. Neak Tep bills directly only where a corporate agreement already exists, so plan on paying and claiming. Payment is expected in United States dollars, and a card is safer than carrying the cash. After a road accident keep the rental agreement and your licence — insurers refuse scooter claims from unlicensed riders. Ask for an itemised receipt and an English-language medical report before you leave, whichever hospital you use.
Siem Reap moves by tuk-tuk, and for anything that can wait ten minutes that is the quickest way across town; your hotel will call one and can give the driver the address in Khmer. The national ambulance number is 119. Neak Tep runs its own 24-hour ambulance on +855 17 928 655 and states that it will also carry patients on to Phnom Penh, to other provinces and across the border into Thailand and Vietnam; Royal Angkor publishes a 24-hour emergency line on +855 63 761 888 and +855 12 235 888. Do not put an injured person on the back of a moto, and do not drive them yourself along National Route 6 after dark.
What actually puts visitors in a Siem Reap hospital is not exotic. Heat comes first: the temple circuits are long, shade is scarce, the hot season from March to May is punishing, and heat exhaustion and dehydration are a steady trade — start at dawn, and carry more water than you think you need. Then stomach illness, then road injuries, mostly from rented scooters and bicycles on the temple roads and National Route 6. Anything bigger goes to Bangkok, about an hour away, and it goes by air: every land crossing between Cambodia and Thailand has been closed since June 2025 and had not reopened when this page was written (why the land borders are shut). The new airport is roughly 50 km east of town, so an evacuation is a drive and then a flight. That is the case for buying cover that pays for evacuation, not only treatment.
Pharmacies are everywhere in the centre, along Sivutha Boulevard and around the Old Market, and most everyday medicines are sold over the counter without a prescription. U-Care is the Western-style chain, with branches on Sivutha Boulevard and on Street 2 Thnou, and is the safer choice if you are unsure of what you are buying; use an established pharmacy rather than a market stall, and check the packaging and the expiry date. A pharmacy is fine for a cold, a stomach upset or a rash. It is not the answer to a fever that has lasted more than two days, which needs a blood test for dengue, and it is not the answer to an animal bite — rabies is a real hazard in Cambodia, and a bite or a scratch is a same-day trip to a hospital.
