Cambodia's prime Minister Hun Sen is urging his people to seek medical treatment locally rather than abroad.
He made the call at the inauguration of the new multi million dollar Royal Ratanak Hospital in Phnom Penh.
Built with Cambodian and Thai investment, the premier hopes the hospital would overtime attract foreigners seeking less expensive medical treatment.
While supporting the premier's call Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Yim Sovann says the government needs to first improve the quality of public health, enforce a medical code of ethics and reduce corruption.
