CSC Celebrates Nurses-Sothea

CSC celebrates International Nurses Day on May 12, dedicated to work performed by nurses worldwide. This week, we highlight Sothea.Your donation to CSC can help us support Sothea.

Meet Sothea, a vital member of our nurse anesthesia team at CSC. He has been a nurse since 2012, and on staff at CSC since 2015. In 2018, Sothea trained to become a nurse anesthetist - a crucial role for surgeries. He's responsible for setting up the surgery room and all the equipment and delivering safe anesthesia to the patients under his care. After the surgery, he checks on the patients to make sure they are stable and have recovered from anesthesia. Sothea enjoys helping poor disabled Cambodians and knowing he can contribute to improving their lives.
