Singapore/UK Surgeon Mission

THANK YOU to the UK and Singapore visiting team, which included renowned attending surgeons, resident surgeons, and a hand therapist, all of whom volunteered for this mission. CSC prepared for their arrival for weeks by screening patients and scheduling over two dozen surgeries. For many people with disabilities in Cambodia, specialized surgical care is rare. This team brought not only their skills but also the hope of a better future for patients with peripheral nerve injuries, burns, difficult fractures, or spasticity.  It was an exhausting week of surgeries, consultations, and follow-up care, but the results were worth it. Your direct donations to our website help to pay for the care of these Cambodians with disabilities.  Saum arkoun!  សូមអរគុណ
