Sakim has been married for 11 years and has one son and one daughter. His wife sells soft drinks and coffee in the primary school. In his free time, he likes playing football, playing volleyball, listening to music, and watching TV.
Unfortunately, Sakim fractured his left elbow about two months ago during a football match. After the accident, his family took him to several hospitals for consultation as well as seeking Khmer traditional medicine. His arm has not been repaired, and he is in pain most of the time. His arm is swollen, his elbow is stiff, and he cannot use his hand. Doctors diagnosed a complex fracture of his elbow, which can be repaired with an open reduction surgery.
Sakim hopes that after surgery the fracture will be fixed, and he will be able to use his elbow without pain so he can go back to work.

Sakim underwent fracture surgery.
Sakim underwent a successful complex fracture repair surgery with surgeons from Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). Soon after his surgery, Sakim started working with the physiotherapy team to increase his elbow flexion and regain strength. He looks forward to having the stitches and cast removed so that he can dress himself and use his arm again. Sakim says he feels his health is good now, and that soon he will be able to go back to work in construction to support his family.
Sakim’s wife shared, “I’m really surprised to see my husband so happy, he will be able to do things better than before; thanks to all donors for their help.”
