This international day highlights the importance and impact for those needing prostheses and orthoses and the need to provide further resources to ensure equitable and appropriate access to prosthetics and orthotics services.

HMC will hold an Awareness Event to highlight the importance of prosthetics and orthotics services to help people to live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives and to learn, work and generally to take part in society and thus, participate in the development of their countries.
