News Bulletin – 01.11.2009

Our centre rose up to the needs of the war affected persons in the IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps in the North with the help of the ICRC and other Govt. agencies. They were identified and brought to our centre by the ICRC. Depending on their needs they were fitted with the artificial limbs. Others were given wheelchairs, crutches and other supportive devices depending on their requirements for mobility and return to normal life. >>>
