Dear Peter,

Thanks for your email. The ICRC is an international NGOs but we are the national one to starts our services. I think every one has the right to serve the PWDs with the potential/services what they have. We know it that ICRC has started the training programe in P&O, its important in its own place, as our friend Mr Alberto has wrote that our curriculum has been approved by MOPH but as far as i know there is no expertriate in P&O in MOPH disability unit.
Let,s think positively and work togather for the P&O profession and aviod imature action in this regards,


Director
M. Hameedi (Prosthetist Orthotist).

Mr M Hameedi,
 We have read your message where you invite the humanitarian organisations to support your training project.
You mention that AOTC is the only local training center in Afghanistan.
Allow us to say that your information is not correct, as in Kabul there is already the Afghan School of Prosthetics and Orthotics (ADPO), a well established school belonging to the
Ministry of Public Health - IHS and supported by the ICRC. The teaching curriculum has been approved by the MOPH and the ADPO is the process of receiving the ISPO recognition.
The ADPO three year course is presently attended by 22 students. 17 of them are persons with disability, 10 are women.
We think that your potential donors should know it.
Anyone is welcome to visit the school
Regards,
Alberto Cairo
Head of the ICRC Orthopaedic Program Afghanistan

Afghan Ortho Training Center (AOTC) is the only local training center of its kind in Afghanistan providing different training programs in orthopaedic technology both in prosthetics and orthotics for male and female in order to promote the right of people with disabilities (PWDs) to be treated with dignity and respect by their families and local communities and to have greater access to opportunities in education, training and employment so thus this center is providing one year Diploma courses in each prosthetics and orthotics through foreign qualified trainers and ISPO (International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics) Register orthopaedic technologists.

>The Afghanortho TC current goal is to increase the geographical scope of Prosthetics and Orthotics services in more remote areas of the country. The center will recruit students from areas where Prosthetics & orthotics services are not yet available with the aim of sending them back to work in their own communities after the completion of course. Female Orthotists Prosthetists are a sorely under-represented group, and Afghanortho TC is presently giving priority to female and physical disable applicants. Afghanortho TC will work actively with the government to facilitate a plan for enrolling under-represented and rural students, not just those from urban areas.

In order to make this goal a reality, however, funding is needed in order to pay staff and faculty salaries and purchase necessary classroom and administrative equipment.
