My Daughter's Journey
Mother of Do Thi Thanh Tam, as told to Benjamin Lee
This is our eighth visit to Singapore. Since September 2006, I have been bringing my daughter, Do Thi Thanh Tam for treatment at PCC. I want to tell our story because I want to thank Dr Ang Peng Tiam, and all the doctors and nurses in Mount Elizabeth Hospital for everything they had done for Tam.
I am a single mother with two children, and 15 – year old Tam is my younger child, the baby of my family.
