Dear oandp-l’ers,

A woman reached out to me today via email and phone looking for help for her father in Nairobi. If you know of a local O&P practice / physical therapy rehab center in Kenya that can help, please send the responses to me and I will forward to person who requested this information.

Thanks,
Paul E Prusakowski, CPO



Subject: Prosthetic specialist needed in Kenya

Hello Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me.
As I shared, I am looking for a resource who can assist my father with prosthetic legs and/or stubbies in or near Nairobi, Kenya.

He had his leg amputated above the knee 4 years ago, as a result of diabetic complications. He is around 80 years old, and will be facing another amputation, probably above the knee, on the remaining leg.

We need to locate a qualified specialist who understands diabetic amputations and can offer expertise on independent transfer for basic hygiene goals and mobility.

Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Terry Muhia
