Clinics raided over illicit transgender surgeries
| Publication date 04 March 2021 | 22:24 ICT

Police on March 3 detained 10 people at two separate beauty centres in Phnom Penh after they were alleged to have secretly performed transgender surgeries. Illegally imported medicines were also found at the location following a search.

The Ministry of Interior’s Counter Counterfeit Committee (CCC) and officials of the Ministry of Health carried out raids on two transgender surgery locations on March 3.

The first location raided was the Dr Kang Beauty Centre located in Boeung Kak II commune in Tuol Kork district, Phnom Penh, and the second raid took place at the Gangnam Beauty Centre & Clinic near the Chinese embassy in Tumnop Teuk commune of Boeung Keng Kang district.

Tan Sokvichea, the head of the secretariat of the CCC, told The Post on March 4 that “the police raided both these locations and detained 10 people. The ringleaders are two Vietnamese. The police seized equipment used for [gender reassignment] surgery and some banned medicines. They also found [severed] penises stored in 49 bottles.”

He further said that the locations were raided following an investigation focused on their secret importation of large quantities of banned medicines from abroad.
