RIYADH: With the support of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), the Prosthetic Limbs and Rehabilitation Center in Yemen’s Hadhramaut provided prosthetics to hundreds of people who lost their limbs, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday.
In September 2022, the centers provided various medical services to 318 Yemenis, according to SPA.
Since its launch, 1,631 services were provided through the project – out of which 65% of the beneficiaries were males and 35% were females.
Prosthetic limbs were manufactured, installed, and rehabilitated for 34 patients, SPA reported.
The project also included the delivery, measurement, and maintenance of prosthetic limbs, and providing physical therapy services.
A total of 284 patients received physical therapy through the project, according to SPA.
Between October 5 to 11, KSrelief’s mobile clinic in the Hajjah governorate treated a total of 790 people with various health conditions and provided them with the necessary medical services, SPA said in a statement.
