In March 2020, she had a motorcycle accident. Neang fell to the ground and her position caused her chronic dislocation on her right elbow. She first sought treatment at a Khmer traditional healer but this did not heal well and her elbow is still swollen at her right elbow joint. Last month, she went to another private clinic in Kampot province to seek for a better treatment, but it is still not healed. With going to several treatment place, her family has run out of money to help her. Her elbow is still swollen and in pain, and she cannot move it at the movement. She decided to come to Children’s Surgical Centre, which recommended to her by another villager.
“I hope that my elbow will get better movement after surgery. I hope I am able to use my arm well so I can go to the rice field. Also, I can cook food for my children, and do housework well,” Neang said.
