Support Anaesthesia Education

CSC extends our heartfelt gratitude to Smile Train for their generous support of our senior anesthetist, Dr. Rith, and to the three anonymous nurses from the United States for their support of our newer anesthetist, Dr. Savoeun. Thanks to your contributions, both physicians attended the Asian Society of Paediatric Anesthesiologists conference in Malaysia. Your support has provided invaluable opportunities for growth and learning, paving the way for safer anesthesia care, especially for cleft lip and palate surgeries. Thank you for your kindness and commitment to making a positive difference in children's lives.

Dr. Savoeun shared "We learned many important concepts and will share our experiences with our colleagues at CSC to make surgery safer for our tiny patients."
