prosthetic limbs for underprivileged
Under this year’s slogan, “The Heartbeat of Humanity”, on the 5th of August 2024, the IWC (e-club) of New Cairo, led by Ms. Lina Shaker installed four prosthetic limbs at a total cost of 61,000 LE. This initiative provides an alternative solution for individuals suffering from limb amputations, aiming to remove obstacles and facilitate their integration into society and daily life. Each patient’s condition was thoroughly assessed, and a skilled prosthetic technician customized and attached the appropriate prosthetic limb. The process involved preparing an original mold, followed by attaching the prosthetic leg or arm. A training specialist then guided the patients on how to properly use and wear their new prosthetic limbs. Among the recipients was a 16-year-old girl who received an artificial arm after being injured in an accident. Additionally, three men were fitted with above-the-knee prosthetic limbs.
