Austrian nurses visit CSC

November 15, 2023

Our names are Franziska and Hannah, and we are nurses from Austria. We have been at CSC for over a week now and have already gained a lot of experience. We have focused on wound care and gained extensive knowledge of how crucial wound care is in nursing. Proper wound care helps reduce a patient's pain and promotes faster and complete healing. The ability of Cambodian patients to undergo difficult wound care procedures is amazing.  However, we have also been able to expand our experience in the operating theater and in the recovery room, and have seen surgeries we would not normally see at home.
We have been warmly welcomed into the team and everyone here is concerned about our well-being. Thank you, CSC for this great experience!
