One of our practitioners has been able to help provide prosthetics to individuals in the underserved population of Ghana. While there are five prosthetic facilities in Ghana, they are mostly outdated and due to travel and availability most amputees are unable to receive services.
Our practitioner has worked with Standing With Hope, a prosthetic charity organization started by Gracie Rosenberger, a double amputee, and her husband Peter. Standing with Hope has partnered with the Ministry of Health to provide training for practitioners and technicians at the Ghanaian Health Services National Prosthetic Center in Accra, Ghana while also sharing their faith in Christ. Our practitioner was able to form relationships with the clinical staff of prosthetists and technicians and provide training for improved patient care and fabrication techniques.
