Intercare Hospital and Sunway Medical Centre: A Partnership to Improve Healthcare in Cambodia

On May 7, 2026, Intercare Hospital (Cambodia) and Sunway Medical Centre (Malaysia) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen healthcare services in Cambodia. The agreement was signed by Oknha Dr. Pung Carolyne, CEO of Intercare Hospital, and Dr. Khoo Chow Huat, Managing Director of Sunway Healthcare Group, in the presence of the Malaysian Ambassador to Cambodia.

The partnership focuses on five key specialties: pediatrics, orthopedics, oncology, ophthalmology, and laboratory services. The goal is to improve care pathways between Cambodia and Malaysia, facilitating access to specialized consultations and advanced treatments. Sunway Medical Centre is ranked among the top 250 hospitals in the world by Newsweek and number 1 in Malaysia.

For expats living in Cambodia, this partnership means better access to quality specialized care. If you need an oncology consultation or a complex orthopedic procedure, Intercare can now refer you to Sunway Medical Centre in Malaysia with streamlined care coordination.

Additionally, customers of Canadia Bank and Cambodia Post Bank enjoy special benefits for care at Sunway. If you are a customer of one of these banks, ask about preferential offers.

Intercare also plans an expansion to Siem Reap in 2026. Currently, the hospital operates in Phnom Penh and at Techo International Airport. Intercare's arrival in Siem Reap could significantly improve healthcare offerings in the region, especially for expats and long-stay travelers.

If you are seeking specialized care in Cambodia:

• Contact Intercare Hospital in Phnom Penh for an initial consultation. They can assess your needs and arrange a referral to Sunway Medical Centre if necessary.
• Check if you are a customer of Canadia Bank or Cambodia Post Bank to benefit from advantages on care at Sunway.
• If you reside in Siem Reap, watch for the opening of Intercare's future branch in 2026. In the meantime, you can consult local clinics or travel to Phnom Penh for specialized care.

Do not assume that all care is covered by your insurance. Check with your insurer whether treatments at Sunway Medical Centre in Malaysia are included in your policy. Some insurance policies may not cover overseas care or may require prior authorization.

Be mindful of delays: referrals to Malaysia can take time. Plan ahead if you need urgent treatment.

As the MoU is recent, practical details (pricing agreements, referral procedures) will be clarified in the coming months. Intercare is expected to communicate concrete modalities for patients. The expansion to Siem Reap is also worth following: it could transform access to care in the region.
