The initiative addresses the immediate and long-term needs of young people who have lost limbs, combining prosthetic services with broader rehabilitation and care coordination to restore mobility and function.
The program encompasses medical treatment, mobility restoration, and psychological support designed to help affected children maintain access to ordinary childhood activities.
