Rotary Artificial Limb Centre, Kothagudem

Supported Since: 2011

Site Overview
The Rotary Artificial Limb Centre was founded in 1990 with a mission to serve the physically challenged in the remotest areas. The Rotarians running the center place a high value on the restoration of pride and vitality through mobility. The center serves patients around 300 patients each year in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.
Project Overview
JDF is partnering with the Rotary Artificial Limb Centre to increase their capacity through the funding of limb camps. JDF funding will enable the center to hold two additional camps each year. As a result of this, more patients with little access to healthcare will be able to receive the aids and appliances that they need.
