Calmette opens first neurology centre

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Calmette ? Good God, I wouldn't let them take out stitches. Now the insurance companies won't fly anybody to BKK anymore. I think I'm going to buy a $500 helmet.

Dunno, but in my experience at Calmette the surgeons were trained and had worked in France, spoke English and French - and the emergency operation was a success. This was not brain surgery, but if this new wing is being supervised by a French neurosurgeon, then I imagine it will be ok as long as this continues.

The problems we experienced came from the fact that most of the post-op staff didn't speak much English except "yes, yes" - and I was also concerned about hygiene - blocked toilets in the "VIP suite" and gecko shit everywhere in the room.

So, probably not really recommended for foreigners who have other choices, but definitely better than nothing for those who don't.

To be fair I went to Rattanak hospital with a knee injury and had to wait for the orthopedic surgeon because he was busy at calamette. So they can't all be bad.
