Increasing self-resilience of the persons with functional difficulties by providing prosthetics and creating inclusive protective environments through community and beneficiary participation
By İyilik için Elele Derneği (HİHFAD) Hand in Hand for Aid and Development
Syria’s ongoing conflict have resulted in an overburdened healthcare system, unable to adequately provide those with physical and mental impairments with the supports they need. To meet these needs, Hand in Hand for Aid and Development (HiHFAD)’s comprehensive physical and mental program will support persons with impairments by focusing on physical and mental rehabilitation.
Where meeting the prosthetic needs of civilians is complicated by border closures and disrupted supply chains from Turkey, in late 2019, HiHFAD established a Prosthetic and Orthotic Centre in Al Bab City, Syria. The Centre has the human resources, equipment, and materials to locally manufacture essential prosthetics and orthotics needed by civilians. Their local staff is now able to meet the needs of Syrians in a cheaper, faster and more practical way.
