"Sometimes I can't go to work because I am in pain," says Soklin, 24-year-old garment worker who lives with her husband in Cambodia.
Soklin came to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), seeking treatment for pain and swelling in her chin resulting from a silicone gel implant she received years ago. After a previous surgery removed only a portion of the implant, “her condition has become worse and more painful,” CSC tells us.
For $99, CSC doctors will remove the remaining implant from Soklin’s chin. Funding also pays for an overnight hospital stay, including one day of post-operative care, as well as follow-up appointments one week, two weeks, and one month after surgery.
"I hope I can be better after surgery,” shares Soklin. “After I am healed, I want to go to work properly again."
