A new National Prosthetics Centre has officially opened in Penal, aimed at clearing a backlog of more than 200 patients waiting for artificial limbs.
Health Minister Dr. Lackram Bodoe says the Centre will respond to rising amputations linked to diabetes and represents a shift from last year’s Indian-supported limb camp to a permanent national facility.
“Work is already underway to support additional patients identified through the existing waiting lists, which currently includes more than 200 persons requiring prosthetic services and follow-up care.”
