TTP Town · Health & Medical
TTP Town has solid day-to-day options. For anything serious, you’re 10–15 minutes from two of the best international hospitals in the city.
For day-to-day illness, routine check-ups, or anything that doesn’t require a hospital, these are the options in and immediately around TTP Town.
Open until 12pm
Frequently used by TTP residents. International specialists including family doctors, chiropractors, and dermatologists — English and French spoken.
When you need diagnostics, surgery, or specialist care, most TTP Town expats use one of these two. Both are 10–15 minutes away.
Open 24 hours · 24/7 emergency
Full-service international hospital with 24/7 emergency services, modern equipment, and international medical staff. The first choice for anything serious. Go here in an emergency — don’t wait for an ambulance.
Most medications in Cambodia are available over the counter without a prescription. Quality varies significantly between pharmacies — counterfeit and expired stock exists. Stick to the one below.
Open until 10pm
The most trusted pharmacy in TTP Town for expats. Well-stocked with international brands and prescription medicines. Staff speak English and can recommend over-the-counter options for common ailments — including the inevitable “Phnom Penh belly” and respiratory issues that hit newcomers in the first few weeks. If they don’t have it, they’ll tell you where to find it.
Dental care in Phnom Penh is significantly cheaper than in Europe or North America, and the top clinics use the same equipment. Both options below are within easy reach of TTP Town.
Open until 6pm
The most recommended dental clinic among TTP Town expats. Full range of services including orthodontics and implants.
Most expat health insurance is accepted at Raffles and Intercare. Carry your insurance card and know your policy’s direct billing arrangements before you need them. UCare Pharmacy does not typically bill insurance directly — pay and claim back.
The Phnom Penh ambulance service is slow and unreliable. In a genuine emergency, put the patient in a Grab or tuk-tuk and go directly to Intercare. It will be faster.
Most medications are available without a prescription in Cambodia. UCare will ask for one for controlled substances. Bring a copy of any regular prescriptions you need — the generic equivalent is usually available and significantly cheaper.
Almost every newcomer gets sick in the first two weeks. It’s not serious — it’s the food, the water, the heat, or all three. UCare will sort you out. If it persists beyond a week or includes fever, go to Procare or Intercare.
