Sen Sok (Central Khmer: សែនសុខ) is an administrative district (khan) of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It contains the Sen Sok International University Hospital.

Administration

Khan Sen Sok was established in 2008–2009 by taking three Sangkats—Khmuonh, Phnom Penh Thmei and Tuek Thla—from Khan Russey Keo.[2] The population recorded in the resulting area by the 2008 census was 120,579.[3]

In 2010 Ponhea Pon, Prek Pnov and Samraong communes were added to the Khan from Ponhea Lueu District, Kandal Province.[4] In 2013, the latter three Sangkats formed a part of a new entity, Khan Prek Pnov, while Sangkat Krang Thnong, previously belonging to Khan Pou Senchey, was added to Sen Sok.[5] In 2016, two new Sangkats were established by separating areas from existing subdivisions—Ou Baek K'am from Tuek Thla and Kouk Khleang from Phnom Penh Thmei.[5]

As of 2020, Sen Sok is subdivided into six Sangkats (communes) and 47 Phums (villages).[5]
