From the rice field to the children's hospital

It should have been a normal day. Yeng Sary was out in the family's rice fields with her daughter Dy Chhengly to start harvesting. But then the six-year-old climbed a tree, slipped, and fell to the ground. Her mother knew immediately that something was wrong with her daughter's arm. It swelled up more and more, and Chhengly complained of pain.

So the two immediately made their way to our children's hospital in Siem Reap. There, the team diagnosed a fracture of the forearm. The fracture had to be fixed in an operation and the bones stabilized. Just three days after the procedure, mother and daughter were able to return home.
