NZ Spine Team Visit

Ratha is a four-year-old who struggled to breathe and could not walk until he was almost three years old due to a congenitally deformed spine. His parents read about Children's Surgical Centre through social media and sought treatment. The voluntary New Zealand spine team, who recently visited CSC, brought their expertise to provide life-changing care for children in need of spinal surgery. Many of these young patients, like Ratha, suffer from severe conditions such as scoliosis, congenital deformities, or spinal injuries that limit mobility and cause significant pain. With specialized skills and advanced techniques, the team worked alongside CSC staff to perform complex surgeries that are otherwise unavailable in Cambodia for children with disabilities who cannot afford care.  Their visit not only restored hope and improved the quality of life for the children treated but also strengthened local capacity through training and knowledge sharing with Cambodian surgeons and nurses.
