Shriners agrees to provide free medical care for a severely burned girl
Sythan Leam lives in Anglong Thor, a small village about 80 miles northwest
of Phnom Penh in Kampong Thom province in Cambodia.
When she was 2 months
old, she suffered severe burns on her left leg. There is no doctor or
medical care in the village and, when her leg healed, her calf was fused
to her thigh.
About two years ago, her case came to the
attention of Western aid workers. Doctors determined her leg muscles
work and that with surgery and physical therapy, Leam should be able to
walk.
Shriners Hospital for Children in Hawaii has agreed to provide free medical
care for Leam, according to Dr. Gunther Hintz, a Honolulu-based former
plastic surgeon and the founder of the nonprofit group Medicorps, which
provides Internet access, consultation and training for doctors in Cambodia.
