As we all know, Cambodia has a large medical demand, so many people are planning to invest in hospitals and outpatient clinics. Today, I will share with you all the issues related to licensing. If the explanation is unclear, please feel free to contact us.

1. Whose name does the clinic or hospital license belong to?

The qualification is handled under the name of the local doctor. The registered company name is the name of the clinic or hospital. The company can sign an agreement with a Cambodian doctor. The doctor will come to the clinic once or twice a month. If there is a problem, the Ministry of Health will first find an affiliated doctor, and the doctor will find a legal person.

2. What are the requirements for doctors and the division of regions?

Local doctors must hold relevant doctor qualification certificates before they can apply for a license. Only doctors registered in Westport can apply for a license. If the doctor is in the Phnom Penh system, they need to be transferred to Westport.

3. How are clinics, outpatient clinics and hospitals divided?

The clinic is divided into large, medium and small. Small ones need a doctor and two beds. Small clinics can only give drips and cannot be hospitalized. A medium-sized person can have relevant equipment for blood sampling and testing, with less than 10 beds, and can be hospitalized. At least two doctors are required, and one of them needs to be employed to work. Large scale hospitals need to set up at least four departments, four doctors and more than four nurses, ambulances, three doctors and nurses. The corresponding equipment and placement need to be reviewed by the health authority on site.

4. What are the requirements for the size of the hospital?

The lease period of the venue is preferably more than two years, the license period is four years, and it needs to be reviewed after four years. There is no clear requirement for the area of the venue, but at least there must be a consultation reception counter, patient waiting area, pharmacy, ward, and examination room. After this decision is to apply for a license, there will be personnel to visit the venue on site. If the site has not been planned and decorated, design drawings can be provided.

5. What are the requirements for medical equipment in hospitals?

As for the medical equipment, departments, and beds required by the hospital, there are no rules from time to time, but in principle, the government will think that you have paid for a license, and will be equipped with relevant supporting facilities according to your profit goals.

6. Does the hospital's pharmacy need to apply for a pharmacy license?

If the pharmacy in the hospital is only for patients in the hospital, there is no need to apply for a special license. If the person is not registered to see a doctor, it is not allowed to sell drugs. If you want to sell drugs to the public, you need to apply for a pharmacy license. However, it is said that in actual operation, the registered doctor will see it before buying the medicine. If there is no registered administration, there are very few cases, even if there is such an operation, there is no clear supervision.

7. What information is required to apply for a license?

The passport and photo of the license holder; the venue rental (renting) contract, with the certification and stamp of the district government in the area. (Because the hospital does not have to pay taxes, there is no problem filling in the rent according to the actual situation, it is recommended to be cautious), and the qualifications of the relevant Cambodian doctors. The company applies at the same time. If you want to ensure that the name of the clinic is consistent with the company name, you must first apply for the company and confirm the business license before applying for the qualification.

8. When can it be opened?

Generally, after all the documents are completed, but in actual operation, when the information is submitted, someone will start business. If the government comes to check and provides an application receipt, it can be handled normally.
