Kids Vaccinations?
Re: Kids Vaccinations?
I have also heard bad things about Khema....Kind of like a status symbol place and for the who's who....But if you have money to burn and want an elite place and My kid was born at Khema and the recommended C section cost $5000....and so on
Re: Kids Vaccinations?
When we had our first child I asked my doctor in the US about vaccines - he said just make sure they have been stored correctly.
So, we use Bangkok Hospital Siem Reap. I was told they have a backup generator and proper storage. I can't speak to the national program other than the one decent pediatrician we had briefly (before she left) said that the national program doesn't provide all shots that the CDC recommends - whether or not that is true I can't comment on.

Stuck in traffic delivering on your moto or tuk tuk...Quick stop for a beer and a game of cards...
Finally get there and the girl on her phone says park the package here...1/2hour later gets put in the fridge....
Let's see...who do we have to get vaccinated today at 100$ a pop....

Re: Kids Vaccinations?
Just a quick question - where are the vaccines mainly from, are they donations from other countries?
Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: Kids Vaccinations?
-------------
Every vaccine our kids have gotten have appeared to have been from the manufacturer. - haven't see anything on boxes or vials indicating it was from a non-profit or UN agency etc. They even put one of the labels into the vaccine book that contains name/ lot#/manufacture date/expiry date etc. So I fully expect they are purchasing either from the manufacturer or through a major drug distributor.
At the children's hospital here I would assume that at least some of the vaccines are donated or purchased at great discount.

Yes, that's a bad experience.

I think it cost 5$ or $2.50 to register and $2.50 for each vaccination shot... After 19 months I think we are on the 10th shot or so..We get them to stamp the maternity clinic book and the yellow book they provide...
We've tried different private clinics, most would push you away if they can't provide the same brand vaccine (which I guess make's sense)
Royal Hospital does a decent job, a shot can range from 60usd to 300 usd (because some months the vaccine book requires like 2 different shots)
Khema although expensive and popular did not give us any good experience -- i would recommend to stay away (it's almost a scam to go there)
Deluxe Ratana clinic - at toul kork is with a pair of doctors from Royal -- vaccines there are not as expensive but basically the same thing
I have good experiences with Khema. I totally forgot about a second shot (cocci) two years after the first one but they called me to remind me.
Just imagine going to Khema getting a shot for your child for 200usd then when you asked, is my kid gonna have a fever? what medicine should I give him? Response would be "oh ... ummmh yeah, it's better to ask the pharmacy" from the supposedly DOCTOR.

All legal medications are provided by the same licensed company in Cambodia, you will find their sticker on each and every (legal) box. They have a pretty comprehensive network.Patcan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 7:50 pm Stuck in traffic delivering on your moto or tuk tuk...Quick stop for a beer and a game of cards...

Re: Kids Vaccinations?
I don't doubt that by any means, the company you may talk of, has full control of what is available to buy in the country, and also what pharmacy will get what to sell. You could say it's a little bit like regulating the flow of nessasery drugs to the people who depend on them. But in most cases it is not, example - my lady needs two daily drugs and can't break the cycle, I can get from only 3 pharmacists, Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham and Koh Kong. But, all it takes is someone to fall out of favor.Kammekor wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:14 pmAll legal medications are provided by the same licensed company in Cambodia, you will find their sticker on each and every (legal) box.

Re: Kids Vaccinations?
AFAIK pharmacies are free to buy any drug out of the ones available, but some drugs are so low in demand they're not on offer in smaller places. I live in the Northeast but depend on Phnom Penh for some drugs as well.AndyKK wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:59 amI don't doubt that by any means, the company you may talk of, has full control of what is available to buy in the country, and also what pharmacy will get what to sell.

On the other hand, if I would name the drugs on this forum probably 99% of the readers wouldn't have a clue what they were for.
