When Sina was 7 years old, she began experiencing hearing loss and discharge in both ears. Although she received surgery on her left ear in 2007, and a subsequent mastoidectomy on her right ear in 2015, she still experiences difficulty with her left ear.
Sina now needs a mastoidectomy surgery on her left ear to improve her hearing and stop the discharge.
Sina is 21 years old and lives in Cambodia. She works in a factory to support herself. She learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), on the radio and traveled for two hours with her mother to reach CSC.
“I am unhappy that I have pain in my left ear,” Sina told the CSC staff. “It is difficult to communicate with other people. Sometimes, I cannot go to work because of the pain.”
With $809, Sina will recieve mastoidectomy surgery on her left ear. These funds will provide for the costs of surgery, medication, and post-operative care at the hospita.
“After a mastoidectomy surgery on her left side, Sina’s left ear will stop producing discharge and her hearing will improve,” CSC says.
