The Cambodian Government will build a nine-storey hospital building offering high standard health services with help from Denmark, TVK reported on Wednesday.
That building will be built near the Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh as Minister of Economy and Finance (MEF) Keat Chhon already met with Calmette Hospital staff and donors.
“We plan to transfer Calmette Hospital as administrative public enterprise into an economic public enterprise,” Keat Chhon was quoted as saying by TVK television.
Health Minister Mum Bun Heng told DAP News Cambodia yesterday that he did not know when construction would begin, referring questions to Calmette Hospital. Cheang Ra, director of Calmette Hospital could not be reached for comment yesterday. Calmette Hospital is seen by many as leading hospital, though its health services are limited, with most especially wealthy Cambodians travelling abroad for medical treatment. Bun Tee, president of Phnom Penh Tourist Association, said the new hospital would hopefully provide high standard healthcare for both Cambodians and foreign tourists.
“Even though the Calmette Hospital will become an economic public enterprise, I hope it will provide a good service for the poor too,” he added.
Sok Hay, a soldier, said that recei- ved free healthcare from Calmette Hospital although he had to wait for administrative processes.
