37-year-old Sarun lives in Cambodia with his wife and their three daughters and one son. He is a farmer and enjoys watching TV and listening to the radio in his spare time.
One year ago, Sarun developed a chronic open wound on his right shin from an accident. It became difficult for him to walk and he is currently in pain.
Sarun and his wife traveled for three hours to reach Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), Watsi’s medical partner, where they were informed that surgery is required to treat the wound.
Surgeons at CSC will perform an excision of granulation and skin around the wound followed by a flap surgery. Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where tissue is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site with an intact blood supply.
The excision and flap surgery cost $392 and will allow the wound to heal so Sarun can walk easily again.
