Earlier this year, Watsi (a charity that funds much of CSC's life-changing surgeries) had the chance to sit down with Nika, a CSC-dedicated audiologist and ENT nurse. With her warm smile and calm confidence, Nika shared what it’s like to be on the front lines of care for patients with chronic ear infections, hearing loss, and other ENT conditions, many of whom travel hours just to reach CSC. “We don’t just treat the ear,” Nika explained. “We care for the whole person. Most of our patients are from the provinces, and many feel nervous or afraid when they arrive. It’s our job to help them feel safe, informed, and hopeful.”
Nika joined CSC seven years ago after being a patient and has become an essential part of the ENT team. From pre-op counseling to post-op wound care and patient education, her role touches every part of the healing journey. “Seeing a child smile after hearing clearly for the first time—that’s what keeps me going,” she said. The Watsi team was inspired by Nika’s deep compassion and unwavering professionalism. Her story is just one of many at CSC, where Cambodian healthcare workers like Nika are transforming lives every day. Watch the video here:
