Prosthetic care
Your donation makes it possible to procure material and components from the state-owned component factory in Phnom Penh – basic materials for further processing into prostheses and orthoses.
Trained orthopedic technicians then ensure that a perfectly fitting prosthesis is made individually for each victim at the various rehabilitation centers around the country. No pressure points, no abrasions!
Facts
- Children usually need 2 prostheses per year, as they are still growing. They cost about $150.
- Adults need a new prosthesis every 2 to 4 years depending on wear and tear. Most need a new artificial foot every year, as they usually wear out a lot. Costs $25 per foot.
- A lower leg prosthesis costs $250 and a thigh prosthesis, i.e., a whole leg prosthesis, costs about $400, a pair of crutches $20.
