Current Situation

Cambodia’s population is rapidly expanding, with around 65% of the population under the age of 30

(UNDP). Economic growth projections indicate that Cambodia is on track to reach upper-middle-income

status by 2030 and high-income status by 2050 (Asian Development Bank). As living standards rise, the

demand for advanced healthcare services will increase, particularly as chronic diseases become more

prevalent and require specialized care (GIZ).

Despite the growing demand for healthcare, many Cambodians remain cautious about relying on the

public healthcare system. The middle class often seeks medical treatment in neighboring countries like

Vietnam and Thailand, while wealthier individuals travel to Singapore for healthcare services. This trend

has created a significant opportunity for private sector investment in Cambodia’s healthcare industry, as

the demand for top-tier medical facilities within the country continues to rise (BMJ Public Health).

Since the introduction of dual practice policies for healthcare professionals in 1994, Cambodia’s private

healthcare sector has experienced considerable growth. International medical companies from countries

such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan have set up high-standard healthcare facilities in Cambodia,

offering services that appeal to local patients. Although these private healthcare services are often more

expensive, their reputation for quality and reliability has attracted increasing local demand, with several

of these providers expanding their operations in Cambodia (KAS).

At Mekarcube, we aim to support Cambodia’s healthcare infrastructure by leveraging our expertise in

complex and advanced construction projects. Our goal is to develop state-of-the-art medical facilities that

not only increase healthcare accessibility but also contribute to long-term improvements in patient care.

Mekarcube’s Approach to Healthcare Development

Mekarcube recognizes that building modernized healthcare facilities requires a multi-faceted approach

that integrates sustainability, and strategic planning. Our expertise in clearly defined construction process

and methodology, modular designs, and eco-friendly material based solutions aligns with the country’s

vision for a modernized healthcare ecosystem.

Mekarcube aims to redefine healthcare infrastructure in Phnom Penh by overcoming the challenges of

limited land and high acquisition costs with innovative design and space optimization. Our vision is to

create modernized medical facilities that maximize efficiency without compromising functionality or

accessibility. Through space-efficient designs, including vertical expansion and modular construction, we

will strive to ensure that every square meter is utilized to its fullest potential. Additionally, our adaptable

infrastructure is built for the future, allowing seamless expansions and reconfigurations to meet the

ever-evolving demands of healthcare.

As Phnom Penh experiences a growing demand for modern healthcare facilities, the focus is shifting

toward sustainability, digital integration, and patient-centered design. Mekarcube aims to be at the

forefront of this transformation, pioneering in smart construction solutions that redefine medical

infrastructure. Modernized hospitals incorporate AI-driven automation, telemedicine capabilities, and

advanced digital health record systems to optimize operations and enhance patient care. We aim to

prioritize sustainability by integrating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and renewable

energy sources, reducing both operational costs and environmental impact. Additionally, our expertise,

combined with our trusted partners could help industry leaders that are specialized in healthcare centers

such as modernized oncology, cardiology, and diagnostic facilities ensure that patients receive top-tier

medical services within a modernized environment.

A significant challenge in Cambodia’s healthcare sector is the shortage of skilled medical professionals.

Mekarcube aspires to support workforce development by designing innovative infrastructure that

empowers healthcare workers and fosters growth in the sector. We aim to explore projects that include

training and research centers that provide dedicated spaces for medical education and research, in

collaboration with global healthcare institutions. By creating efficient work environments through the

integration of smart hospital systems, we reduce administrative burdens on medical staff, allowing them

to devote more time to patient care. Mekarcube strives not just to build facilities, but to strengthen the

healthcare workforce by creating spaces that support learning, research, and efficient, high-quality care.

Navigating complex healthcare regulations and international accreditation standards can be challenging.

Mekarcube aspires to simplify this process by ensuring that healthcare facilities meet the highest

standards. We aim to design and build projects that adhere to international healthcare accreditation

requirements, including JCI, WHO, Ministry of Health guidelines and other local compliances, ensuring

top-quality care and operational excellence. Additionally, our expert consultation services offer seamlesssupport, hospital operators, and policymakers to streamline compliance and operational approvals.Mekarcube aims to make regulatory compliance and accreditation an integral part of the design anddevelopment process, delivering healthcare infrastructure that meets both local and international expectations.

With rising material and labor costs, cost efficiency is a critical concern for healthcare developers.

Mekarcube aims to work towards mitigating financial risks by implementing strategic construction

solutions that balance affordability with quality. Through value engineering, we optimize material

selection and construction methods to ensure that projects remain within budget while maintaining the

highest standards. Additionally, our focus is to aim and explore energy-efficient building techniques, such

as solar power and rainwater harvesting, which helps reduce long-term operational expenses. Mekarcube

aims to deliver cost-effective healthcare infrastructure that not only meets financial goals but also

contributes to sustainable, long-term success.

Our Aim

As Cambodia continues its efforts to modernize its healthcare sector, Mekarcube is committed to driving

this transformation. Through innovative design, smart construction, and sustainable building solutions, we

are helping shape the country’s medical infrastructure. Our collaborative approach ensures that investors,

developers, and healthcare providers have access to state-of-art facilities that meet both current and future healthcare needs. With the rising demand for high-quality medical services, Mekarcube remains dedicated to delivering solutions that enhance patient care, optimize hospital operations, and establish new benchmarks in healthcare construction.
