Meet Rom! Rom is 38 years old, and stays at home in Cambodia caring for her only child while her husband works to support the family.
“Rom has had ear discharge and chronic ear infections in both ears for the last 35 years,” says our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. “It is especially bad on her right ear. Every day there is discharge from that ear, and she is in constant discomfort”.
As a result of her condition, Rom cannot work or hear clearly. She is very sad that she currently cannot provide any support for her family and she feels guilty that her husband must do all the work.
