Cambodia ear trip

Dr Ooi recently returned from his first trip to Cambodia where he was part of a group of ENT surgeons, anaesthetists, audiologists and nurses who provide ear surgery and assessments in Cambodia. The number of ear infections, perforated ear drums and cholesteatoma over there is much higher than in Australia. There is a great need for the ear treatments the patients require that is not as easily available as it is in Australia. The trip was hard work but rewarding as the patients were very grateful to receive the care. The trip is financed individually and kind donations of equipment and medical supplies. Southern ENT hopes to continue its involvement with the aid work in Cambodia through Dr Ooi.
