Sok Ly is a 27-year-old factory worker from Kampong Cham province in Cambodia. She has one brother and one sister; they are both married. Her parents and her brother are farmers. In her free time, she likes listening to music and watching TV.
Sok Ly injured her left elbow in a fall in October. After the accident, her family took her for treatment at a Khmer traditional healer because they did not have money for care, but her elbow did not heal. She is in pain, unable to bend her elbow or work in the factory.
When Sok Ly learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. Sok Ly needs a surgical procedure called an open reduction and internal fixation to reduce her open fracture. The total cost of her procedure is $412. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Sok Ly shared that she hopes that she can use her arm as soon as possible and no longer have pain.
