Your health is more at risk in Cambodia than most other parts of Southeast Asia due to poor sanitation and a lack of effective medical treatment facilities. If you fall seriously ill in Cambodia you should return to Phnom Penh, as it is the only place in the country with decent emergency treatment.

VACCINATIONS

No vaccinations are required to enter Cambodia, other than a Yellow Fever vaccination if a visitor has traveled through an affected area in the previous six days. Visitors are advised however to have up-to-date inoculations for Cholera, Hepatitis A and B, Malaria, Typhoid, Tetanus, and Tuberculosis. Malaria is prevalent in most remote regions of Cambodia and it is best to consult with your doctor on the best preventative measures.

FOOD & DRINK

A typical Cambodian meal consists of steamed rice accompanied by fish, poultry or beef seasoned with chili or garlic. There are numerous restaurants in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap offering international cuisine, including Italian, French, Indian, Thai and Chinese. Fresh fruit and vegetables should always be peeled or washed thoroughly with purified water. Bottled water should be used at all times for drinking. Boiled drinks such as coffee or tea are fine.

MEDICAL FACILITIES

Over the counter prescription drugs are widely available in major cities, but it is best to bring frequently-used medicines from home. It is also recommended that visitors bring a basic travel first-aid kit with band-aids, anti-infection creams, mosquito repellant, and the like. There is an UN-run hospital in Phnom Penh to treat emergency cases.
