8,000 people are estimated to need a prosthetic solution in Gaza.
Only 11 doctors trained as prosthetists remain.
All rehabilitation clinics were destroyed, but a few are starting operations again.
3D printed prosthetics will provide amputees living in Gaza’s war-torn conditions with mobility.
Our advisors at Bionic P&O, are willing to train our staff to take digital scan of an amputee’s limb. That file can be professionally modified by a CAD expert (on a computer) and then 3D printed for the exact shape needed for the custom socket.
