To anyone that can help with information. I have been contacted by a
missions groups from Papua New Guinea (PNG). The missionary wishes to
start a prosthetic clinic and prosthetic shcool. There is a problem with
providing prosthetics in PNG. The population, for the most part, are
living below what would be called third world conditions. There are no
Prosthetic resources or the ability to fallow up on a fitting. The
prosthesis needs to be fabricated from local materials. There is no
plaster, plastics or prefabricated components. I would like to talk to
anyone who has had experience practicing under such conditions.
