Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said an artificial foot centre will soon be set up in Trinidad and Tobago, which will benefit not only this country but the Caricom region.

She made the announcement at the inauguration ceremony of the Artificial Limb Fitment Camp, held at the Diplomatic Centre, Port of Spain on October 3.

Over 800 people are expected to benefit from the donations of prosthetic limbs, a promise made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he visited TT in July this year. Apart from the donations, the limb centre will be established with financial support from India.
