Et al.,
VVAF works on disabled sports issues in Kosovo. HI supports the Kosova
National Orthotics and Prosthetic Center in the capital, Prishtina. He
might get help there. Various European powers, particularly the Germans,
took injured Kosovars
into their countries for pretty sophisticated treatment and now, of
course, are not taking them back in for repairs. The Kosova Center can
do good work, but not to Berlin standards, so to speak. The other
somewhat low cost alternative is Slovenia, which has a very nice rehab
center in the capital.
This example expresses the quest to treat people with local
alternatives. For many humanitarian organizations it is simply not
affordable to replace high tec componentry. They are of course nice to
donate but kills the follow up. It is a plague we not only face in
Kosovo but worldwide.
Hope this help.
