Vannak is a 43-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is married with two daughters and enjoys cooking food and cleaning her home. Vannak traveled one hour with her brother to reach Watsi's medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. When she was seven years old, Vannak developed an ear infection that caused her left tympanic membrane (eardrum) to perforate. As a result, she experiences ear pain, discharge, and hearing loss. Vannak is unhappy that she has ear pain, and her poor hearing makes it difficult to communicate with other people at work. Surgeons at CSC will perform a $399 myringoplasty procedure-- an operation to close the perforated membrane-- on Vannak's left ear. This surgery will treat the infection and put an end to her ear pain and discharge. Over time, Vannak's hearing will improve and allow her to resume effective communication and work.
