Evaluation of Prosthetic and Rehabilitation Clinic Infrastructure in Developing Nations

Evaluation of Prosthetic and Rehabilitation Clinic Infrastructure in Developing Nations

Currently, I have been gathering demographic information on organizations
established worldwide that serve people with amputations in developing
countries. I am evaluating the infrastructure of prosthetic and/or
prosthetic rehabilitation clinics and their socioeconomic impact in the
regions/countries they serve. I am collecting this information to expand
knowledge of needs to be addressed and recommend/develop an optimal
business model to promote self-sustainability in these areas.
I have been contacting various organizations over the past couple of years
and am now organizing the data. I have a long alphabetical list of the
organizations below. If you are part of the organization, have
worked/served/volunteered with the organization, or have one that is not
mentioned below, would you take the time to fill out a survey I have
generated (link below) for the study? Some do not exist any more to my
knowledge and others, I was not able to receive a response back so if this
is the case, please let me know as well. If you have already contacted me,
thank you!
Any information would be greatly appreciated and feel free to take some
time to answer the questions if you need to gather more data together, I
really appreciate it!
If you are not able to access the link, please contact me and I can email
you the questions separately!
Thank you,
