Oeun is a 54-year-old farmer from Cambodia who is married with three sons and two daughters. In her free time, she likes to cook and fish in the river near her home.
On October 31, 2016, Oeun fell off a motorbike. Her right forearm was run over, causing a fracture. She went to two Khmer traditional healers for treatment, but her symptoms did not improve. Oeun has been unable to use her arm since the accident, and she is in pain.
Oeun learned about Watsi’s medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from a relative who went to CSC’s affiliated hospital, Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. Oeun and her daughter traveled for six hours to reach CSC for evaluation and treatment.
On April 26, surgeons at CSC will perform an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedure to reposition and set her broken arm. This will enable healing and allow her to feel comfortable again. CSC requests $411 to pay for the operation, two weeks of hospital care (including physiotherapy), and X-rays.
Let’s help fund surgery for Oeun!
