Description : As word spreads of these facilities more and more people who had for used home-made prosthetic limbs, arrive for treatment. Many are UXO accident victims.

The Centre is also assisted by the NGO COPE (http://www.copelaos.org/what.html).

Comme l'information de l'existence de ces centres se répand de bouche à oreille, de plus en plus de patients arrivent qui utilisaient jusque-là des prothèses faites par eux-mêmes. Beaucoup parmi eux sont des victimes d'accidents causés par des sousmunitions.
