As the Hospital Director of the Royal Phnom Penh Hospital and Royal Angkor International Hospital, part of the BDMS group in Cambodia, my primary objective was to identify new innovations that align with our hospital’s needs.

I’ve also noted several Hong Kong or Hungarian companies offering medical supplies—like masks and surgical gowns—at reasonable prices, with contacts exchanged with around 10 companies so far. The order pricing will depend on project-to-project, but we estimate around USD 20,000 per order with repeat orders for successful medical supplies.

The question of US tariffs has impacted Cambodia, and the ability to have face-to-face meetings at the medical fair remains critical for building and maintaining supplier relationships from overseas sources in helping diversify or navigate the challenges posed by said tariffs. Coming to the medical fair in Hong Kong, we could see many innovations from another world, remaining international without the need to go far, far away from Asia.

It is a valuable opportunity to access cutting-edge solutions so close to home.
