Register for prosthetic limbs
Anyone requiring a prosthetic for the 1st time is advised to come to the center in Colombo for proper posture and gait training, physiotherapy, and stump bandaging. Usually, a child requires a prosthetic limb replacement every 6 months as they are growing. Therefore, the replacement limb can be provided to most people during a mobile camp, as they are already using a prosthetic and are familiar with all aspects.
The patient registration form can be filled online and submitted below. After submitting it, please book an online consultation for an assessment and guidance, by calling 011 2 421651.
