"At the hospital we can take care of any medical condition. We are a tertiary level hospital. In some cases the patient may wish to be taken back to New Zealand, in which case we can send medical escorts alongside the patient, but usually we try to get the patient to a level of well being where they are able to travel by themselves. There is no situation, medically, that we cannot handle in this hospital."

STORYLINE:
A Thai hospital said on Thursday that a New Zealand woman who was stabbed in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on Tuesday night should be stable and ready to go home in the coming days.
Jane Nye was recovering in Bangkok Hospital, a facility specialising in trauma care.
She was flown to the Thai capital on Wednesday for emergency medical treatment after she and her boyfriend were stabbed in their apartment in Phnom Penh.
The British boyfriend, David Mitchell, was killed in the attack.
Nye was working as the managing editor of the Cambodian Scene magazine, and Mitchell owned the Ginger Monkey bar near the Cambodian capital's popular waterfront.
Police say Mitchell was killed whilst trying to defend his girlfriend when she was attacked by a homeless man who had broken into the apartment.
Nye's throat was cut and her face was slashed.
A hospital administrator said they were well-prepared to deal with the journalist's injuries, and that she couldn't have received better treatment if she had gone straight home.
It is unclear when exactly Nye will be stable enough to be released, but the hospital is concerned about the emotional damage as well as the physical injuries.
Relatives are expected to arrive from New Zealand at the weekend.
