Access to prosthetic treatment is scarce globally — WHO estimates 30 million people are in need of prosthetics.
Syrians are living with permanent impairments, including 86,000 people who have lost limbs. And this clinic has been a ray of hope for hundreds of poor families who come here for free treatment.Mahmoud Qabbani, 37, from Syria's Aleppo region, came to the AID clinic with his wife to repair his prosthetics. He was wounded in 2015 during a Syrian regime strike in which he lost his left leg.
The World Health Organization also estimates that 30 million individuals are currently in need of prosthetic and orthotic devices.for the wearer has revolutionized the field. And a more revolutionary development is being sparked by 3D printing that can be created by almost anybody, anywhere.
Medical 3D printing includes the creation of custom casts that are composed of lightweight plastic and precisely suit the patient. The production costs of such medical equipment are reduced by the use of additive manufacturing technologies, making them more accessible to the general public. "Ease of measuring, production speed, and reduced chance of error create a win-win situation for the patient and the technician. I think that the field of prosthetic orthotics will develop in the light of 3D printer technology, as in most areas."
