Nan is a 44-year-old woman with one son and one daughter. She likes to cook, look after her children, and take care of her home.
In July, a cow hit Nan’s right elbow, causing a dislocation. She initially visited a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but her symptoms did not improve. It is difficult for Nan to use her right arm, and she is unable to cook for her family.
Nan heard about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) from a radio program, and she traveled for four hours with her husband to reach CSC for treatment. On October 26, surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure to relocate and secure her right elbow. She needs help to fund this $411 procedure.

Nan received fracture repair surgery.
Nan’s treatment went well. Surgeons fixated a pin from her elbow to her humerus, which will be removed after six weeks. After the pin is removed, she will have physiotherapy at CSC. She was given medication for pain and was instructed to keep her elbow elevated. Nan is now able to bend her elbow and does not experience pain.
Nan’s husband says, “I am really happy to see my wife use her arm without any pain. Thanks to everyone at CSC for helping my wife.”
