Re: Doctor in Sihanoukville - CT Clinic or ...
Someone reported on TOF recently that a Japanese hospital is being built in SNV and due to open sometime this year. Can't remember where it was posted.
Fair enough AM we will leave the points out of this one as health care truly is shit across the hole of Cambodia.

I wasn't there, so no receipt but I have directions :Username Taken wrote:Nice one AM, but if you have a receipt with an address which you can post, it might be easier for visitors to SHV.
"Coming from downtown", heading in which direction?
"toward CT clinic", where is CT clinic?
Sorry, but I might need it one day.
Head down Ekareach St from Ocheuteal/ Golden Lions toward Vic Hill. When you get to Charlie Harpers', turn right toward small market and follow that street until you get to a big bend, then a bridge then look for Dr Som Dara on the left. A lot of tourist maps have either Charlie Harpers or CT clinic marked - follow that road and keep going ...
Charlie Harpers is just opposite Happy Burger on Ekareach St - Tuktuks probably know where HB is.

Is that a good or a bad thing? I have never heard anything about it. Are all the doctors going to be Japanese/ fully Japanese trained? What's the angle.Raybull wrote:The japanese have been updrading the provincial hospital for quite a while now.juansweetpotato wrote:Someone reported on TOF recently that a Japanese hospital is being built in SNV and due to open sometime this year.

What's the angle? There's no angle here only dollars. The whole goal isn't to help the poor sick but to pretend you do and use that in such a way as to reap as much profit as possible. Let's seee....So for some inexplicable reason, all the gov revenue and hundreds of millons of $$$ in previous grants/loans/payoffs/bribes/etc have been 'properly' spent, really it's all just tied up in SG/HKG/Europeen bank accounts, private companies, personal villas, and supercars and '16 LX570s at 222k$ a pop (but shhh dont tell the Japs that), so the Japs grant/loan Big Beggar HE quite few million $$$ to upgrade the poor commoners hospital. Money gets skimmed, wait...lots and lots of money gets skimmed, ya know those new 570s are 40k$ more expensive than last years model, and then with the rest half of it goes to a certain Okhna who gets the overpriced concrete contract, the markup allows him to buy quite a few new cement trucks at a over a 1/4 mil $ a piece (pure profit for his next jobs), while most of the remainder goes to buy overpriced construction materials from a few other Okhnas' companies. The leftover pennies are used to compensate the starving construction workers. Jap docs at a prov hospital?!! You can barely get the Khmer docs that are obligated due to subsidised training to work there part time to show up!

fully agree,Anchor Moy wrote: I don't feel it's fair to give points to Shitsville when this is how things are all over the country.
Outside of PP, SR and SV there is a big void in health care, let alone emergencies. You really can't blame S...ville for this. No points
i also gave a point in SHV favor the other day due to that story of the local who took someone in an emergency to one of the provincial hospitals for treatment, i thought it was a good deed and related to this story a bit

As JSP said medical equipment is one thing but the professionalism of the operator or Doctor quite something else.
I have known very well CT clinic boss, staff and facilities for many years both from the incidents I had to deal with as an acting warden for my country over a few years and also as patient.
In my opinion for small cuts they used to be among the best in the country. Out of close to half a dozen minor stitching I had done to myself over there, they once stitched me millimeters from a thumb nail and on another occasion millimeters away from my eye ball without to my satisfaction requiring to pull neither. Years later the lack of visible scars also speak for itself. However the male nurse that performed on these occasion has recently resigned.
For more serious issues it of course depends on the degree of urgency.
I was once in need of stomach surgery that I had performed in PP at Sen Soch as I wouldn't have considered CT for it and I didn't go to Thailand only as I had found a cambodian surgeon that was just retired after 35 years of practice in France.
However after a serious bike crash in early 2015 I didn't even consider enduring the ambulance trip to a PP facility and had CT perform some serious bone reconstruction while sedated for almost three hours. I Didn't hesitate as I knew beforehand the lead surgeon was a trauma specialist from Kampot referral hospital.
In term of patient facilities (equipment, surgery bloc rooms etc) they compare favorably to whatever private clinic or hospital in PP.

Re: Doctor in Sihanoukville - CT Clinic or ...
The most useful post I have ever read on CT clinic or any other SNV clinic. As is usual, most places are good at somethings more than others. It's knowing who is good at what that's hard to find out. BTW how did the bone restructuring work out? Any complications?Barang_doa_slae wrote:As JSP said medical equipment is one thing but the professionalism of the operator or Doctor quite something else.
