Meet Visal, a 10-year-old boy from Cambodia. He is currently in second grade, and he has one sister. Visal enjoys doing his homework and playing football in front of his house with friends. Visal traveled one hour in a tuk tuk with his mom to reach Watsi’s medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment.
Visal developed an ear infection on the left side when he was five years old. This resulted in a perforated tympanic membrane, ear pain, hearing loss, and discharge.
Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons will perform a myringoplasty to repair the perforated tympanic membrane and stop the pain and discharge. Over time, his hearing will improve. Let’s help make it possible!

Visal was successfully treated for a painful ear condition.
10-year-old Visal developed an ear infection when he was five years old. The infection spread to both sides of his ear and perforated the tympanic membrane on the right and left side, causing him hearing loss, discharge and pain from both ears.
Visal’s myringoplasty procedure went well! His family shares that he’s doing much better, no longer is getting so many ear infections, and his hearing has already greatly improved.
“I am very happy that my son had this operation done and his ear discharge has stopped,” says his mother. “Now I hope he will go to school as usual and have good hearing.”
