The ‘Step by Step’ pilot project will deploy 3D scanning and printing technology to provide 50 children with prostheses to walk and play again. With only 11 Doctors trained as a prosthesis remaining in Gaza the “Step by Step” pilot is partnering with Bionic P&O experts to:
- Provide ‘hands on’ training for a Prosthetist and 3D technician in Jordan
- Utilize 3D scanning and printing techniques for custom prosthetic sockets.
- Showcase techniques in a pilot for 5 children
- Develop an ongoing training strategy
- Lay the foundation for a scalable program
8,000 people are estimated to need a prosthetic solution in Gaza. Only 11 doctors trained as prosthetists remain. All rehabilitation clinics were destroyed.
