Intercare-Sunway Alliance: Better Healthcare for Expats in Cambodia

On May 7, 2026, Intercare Hospital in Cambodia and Sunway Medical Centre in Malaysia signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening medical cooperation between the two institutions. The goal is to improve the quality of care offered to patients in Cambodia by facilitating access to specialists and advanced medical technologies. This agreement includes knowledge exchanges, training programs, and the implementation of telemedicine services.

If you are an expat in Siem Reap, this alliance means you can consult with Malaysian specialists without leaving Cambodia. If more complex care is needed, a transfer to Sunway Medical Centre in Malaysia will be facilitated. This reduces waiting times and improves access to cutting-edge treatments, especially in oncology, cardiology, and orthopedics. For families, it provides extra assurance of quality care nearby.

To take advantage of this partnership:

• Contact Intercare Hospital in Phnom Penh or via their website to find out which specialties are available.
• If you have a medical need, ask your primary care doctor in Siem Reap for a referral to Intercare for a teleconsultation with Sunway.
• Check if your health insurance covers care at both facilities.
• Keep Intercare's contact details: intercarehospital.com.

Beware of unofficial information: only Intercare and Sunway channels are reliable. Some intermediaries may offer transfer services not covered by the agreement. Always verify that your care is coordinated by Intercare. Also, the MoU does not guarantee financial coverage: inquire about costs before any travel.

In the coming months, training programs for Cambodian medical staff will be implemented. Telemedicine should be operational by the end of 2026. Stay tuned for Intercare's announcements regarding available specialties and appointment procedures. This partnership could expand to other hospitals in Cambodia, further improving healthcare offerings for expats.
