Samnang is a 31-year-old man with two sons. He likes to watch TV and read the news on the Internet.
In August 2015, Samnang was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture in his right femur. He visited a private clinic in Phnom Penh, where surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure to heal his fracture. Though his fracture healed, a nail left in his leg from that surgery causes him difficulty walking.
When Samnang learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for four hours to seek treatment. On December 2, CSC surgeons removed the nail and performed a quadricepsplasty release procedure. This procedure will allow Samnang to walk easily again. Now, he needs help to fund this $425 procedure.
“I hope that I can walk better and experience no pain,” he says.
