Panha is a 25-year-old soldier from Cambodia who is married. He enjoys listening to music, helping his wife around their home, and watching movies on TV.
On December 15, 2015, Panha was riding his motorbike when he was in an accident that caused fractures in his left tibia, left femur, left foot, and left wrist. He went to a private clinic, where doctors applied a cast on his left lower leg. However, he did not receive any treatment for his left wrist.
Panha first came to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), in February 2016. Surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure on his wrist to heal his fracture. He now returns to CSC because he experiences discomfort and needs to have the hardware in his wrist removed.
On February 13, surgeons at CSC will remove the hardware from Panha’s wrist to allow him to feel comfortable again. CSC is requesting $411 to fund the treatment.
