Tol is a 36-year-old farmer. He is married with one son and two daughters. He traveled three hours with his mother to reach Watsi’s medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment.
Tol fell down in April 2016 and fractured his right elbow. He can’t hold anything with his right arm and is in pain. He has received Khmer tradition medicine (KTM) treatment, but this has been ineffective.
Surgeons at CSC will perform an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure to treat the elbow fracture. The surgery will consist of realigning the broken bones to ensure that the arm heals properly.
After surgery, Tol will have good function of his right arm again. The treatment will cost $405, and covers the cost of checkups and casts along with the surgery.
When he’s not working on the farm, Tol enjoys watching TV and listening to music. Once he heals from the ORIF procedure, Tol will be able to go back to work again.
