Free Prosthetic Limbs Initiative Launched to Support Amputees Nationwide
The India–CARICOM Prosthetic Limbs Camp, launched at the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre, is providing free prosthetic devices to Guyanese amputees, restoring mobility and independence. A joint effort between the Ministry of Health, India’s High Commission, and CARICOM, the initiative has already fitted 35 limbs, targeting more than 50. Beyond medical aid, the programme promotes inclusivity, capacity building, and regional cooperation, while reducing inequalities. For beneficiaries, the impact is life-changing—granting renewed independence, social participation, and the ability to walk again.
