A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by travellers arriving from infected areas.
Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is no longer a condition of entry to Cambodia.
However, cholera is a serious risk in this country and precautions are essential. A cholera epidemic recently occurred in
the Rottankiri province in the northeast. Up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should
include vaccination as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness.
Malaria risk exists all year throughout the country. The malignant falciparum strain predominates and is reported to be highly resistant to chloroquine and resistant to sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine. Resistance
to mefloquine has been reported from the western provinces.
All water should be regarded as being potentially contaminated. Water for drinking, brushing teeth or making ice should first
be boiled or otherwise sterilised. Milk is unpasteurised and should be boiled. Powdered or tinned milk is available and is
advised, but make sure that it is reconstituted with pure water. Avoid dairy products which are likely to have been made from
unboiled milk. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot. Pork, salad and mayonnaise may carry increased risk.
Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled.
Bilharzia (schistosomiasis) is present. Avoid swimming and paddling in fresh water. Swimming pools which are well-chlorinated and maintained
are safe. Hepatitis A occurs. Hepatitis B is hyperendemic.
Japanese encephailitis occurs in rural areas May to October and is relatively common. Dengue fever is widespread.
Rabies is present. For those at high risk, vaccination before arrival should be considered. If you are bitten, seek medical advice
without delay.
Health insurance is absolutely essential. Doctors and hospitals expect cash payments for any medical treatment.
