Chan is a 29-year-old welder from Cambodia. He is married and has two sons and one daughter. His wife stays home to care for their children.
In 2019, Chan was involved in a motorcycle collision, fracturing both his tibia and his fibula- the bones in his lower right leg. As he could not afford care, he visited a Khmer traditional healer. However, his condition showed no improvement, thus he underwent surgery in 2020. During surgery, doctors implanted a nail and bone graft to heal Chan’s bones. The bones have fully healed and the metal hardware is no longer necessary.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 4th, Chan will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which will cost $304. Chan needs help to raise the funds for his surgery, which will improve his mobility and enable him to return to work.
Chan said: “I hope the hardware will be gone so I can recover from my injury and I won’t have to worry about my leg again.”

Chan had a successful surgical procedure to remove the hardware from his fracture that was the result of a motorcycle collision. Following a six week recovery and a short period on antibiotics, Chan soon will be able to return to regular activity and is thankful that the surgeons were able to remove the metal. He hopes to walk unaided and return to his job as soon as his surgical incision has healed.
Chan shared: “I am thankful to the hospital for my surgery. My family will have food because I will have a strong leg to work again. I feel so comfortable with CSC taking care of my problem. I felt that the surgeons and staff work hard and are kind to all patients.”
