San is a 61-year-old tuk-tuk driver from Cambodia. He is married with four sons and two daughters. San likes to stay at home, watch TV, and clean his home.
In July 2016, San was driving his motorbike when he was hit by a car and fractured his left patella. Since the accident, San has difficulty walking, and he is in pain. Even after treatment at a government hospital, his condition has not improved.
After learning about Watsi’s medical partner, the Children’s Surgical Centre, from a friend, San and his wife traveled two hours to reach the centre. Surgeons at the centre will perform an open reduction internal fixation procedure to heal his fracture.
Both San and his wife hope that after the operation, he will be able to walk independently and painlessly.
