Rtn Sunil Kansal, President of Rotary Club Chandigarh Central said, “We have already organized so many camps of this type in the past two years, where prosthetic hands and legs were fixed to almost 2000 beneficiaries. The initiative has made their life easier as they can do their routine works with ease. The artificial hands have been manufactured in the USA and the legs have also been manufactured with modern techniques. Rotary Club provides these hands and legs free of cost to needy people.”
It was announced that children above 10 years of age and elders who have lost their hands in some accident or had to get it amputated otherwise can take benefit of this camp. They will be provided with light, durable, and functional prosthetic hands. The US-made prosthetic hands, weighing 400 grams only, can be fitted below the elbow. After getting the prosthetic hands, the beneficiaries can perform various daily functions like using the computer keyboard, eating, lifting light weights, digging, writing, or doing household activities.
