Doha: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has concluded a project to support the Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Center in Idlib, northwestern Syria, amid difficult humanitarian conditions due to the war and earthquake.

The project helped enhance the specialized medical services provided for persons with disabilities, in the face of inadequate rehabilitation and prosthetic services.

The Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Center in Idlib is the government’s only provider of comprehensive and free-of-charge prosthetic services.

A total of 2,200 direct beneficiaries and more than 11,000 indirect beneficiaries received a diverse array of health, psychological, and social services, with a view to improving the quality of life, independence, and social integration of persons with disabilities.

Over the project’s duration, 216 prosthetic limbs were fitted for persons who lost limbs due to war or earthquake.
