Cambodia

Risk / Health Info for Cambodia

Do I need vaccines for Cambodia?

For a trip to Cambodia recommended vaccines include Japanese encephalitis, typhoid and hepatitis A.

When is Japanese encephalitis a risk in Cambodia?

Japanese encephalitis can be contracted anywhere in Cambodia if you visit between May and October. Long-term travellers and children under 15 are at risk; and those visiting rural areas and rice farms.

Another disease endemic to Cambodia is Chikungunya. Like Japanese encephalitis, Chikungunya is transmitted by mosquitoes, particularly during the rainy season. Avoid bites by wearing long-sleeved garments and use an insect repellent.

Could I catch bird flu in Cambodia?

There have been a few cases of people contracting avian influenza in Cambodia. The risk is low, but visitors should avoid poultry markets.

Hospitals in Cambodia

Healthcare facilities in Cambodia are poor. There are some private clinics in Phnom Penh, but these can be expensive and may not be top quality. Expect to be evacuated to a neighbouring country if you need complex treatment. Mental healthcare facilities in Cambodia are non-existent and you may have to leave the country to get care. As the supply of medicines in Cambodia is limited and fake drugs are a problem you should bring whatever you need in the way of over-the-counter and prescription drugs.

Dengue fever in Cambodia
There have been cases of the mosquito-borne virus dengue fever in Cambodia. Dengue fever is also known as breakbone fever because of the severe bone, joint and muscular pains it causes, in addition to flu-like fever and headache. There is no vaccine for dengue fever. Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellents (50% DEET) and by wearing protective clothing. Sleeping with mosquito nets is also recommended.
Malaria in Cambodia
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of Cambodia at certain times of year. There is no malaria vaccine, but there are anti-malaria drugs that should be taken before, during and after travelling to certain at-risk countries. Speak with your healthcare provider six weeks before your trip, as not all prophylaxis regimes are appropriate for all regions and all individuals.
Schistosomiasis in Cambodia
The schistosomiasis parasite enters humans through the skin during contact with fresh water. To prevent infection, avoid swimming or paddling in lakes and streams in Cambodia. This condition is also known as bilharzia.
Zika in Cambodia
Global Affairs Canada has issued a warning about the risk of contracting Zika in Cambodia. Zika is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes, and infection during pregnancy has been linked to birth defects. Women who are pregnant or planning to get pregnant should take advice before travelling to Cambodia. Zika symptoms include rash, itch, mild fever, headache, red eyes, muscle and joint pains. Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellents (50% DEET) and by wearing protective clothing. Mosquito nets and air conditioning should be used when sleeping.
