Dear List,

We had a gentleman stop by our clinic and was desperately looking to help his nephew in any way possible. His nephew is a 23 year old man living in South Sudan. He was in a motorcycle accident in September 2013 and as a result was amputated at the transfemoral level. He has been using forarm crutches ever since, which as you can imagine, has been quite functionally limiting for him. He has not yet had a prosthesis made for him because it seems these services are scarce in this area.

I've done a little research on the web and came up with very little myself in terms of Prosthetic Aid that is currently servicing the South Sudan. I'd really like to give this gentleman as much information as possible to help him and his nephew connect up with someone who can provide prosthetic care to him.

Please let me know if you have any information or contact names of Prosthetic Aid in or around the South Sudan.

Thank You.
