Mobility is the first step to access basic rights including access to food, shelter, education, job/income, equal opportunities and equal citizenship. The most important components in the restoration of mobility are assistive devices such as orthoses, prostheses and mobility aids. Prosthetic and orthotic services play a major role in enabling a person with a disability to change from being immobile to becoming mobile. They also help to provide further means towards equality: by helping a child with disability go to school or an adult with disability go for skills training or gaining fulfilling employment.
PORT-ER promotes the provision of appropriate education and training in prosthetics and orthotics so that clinicians can assist others to exercise their human rights and achieve optimal mobility.
Diana Corrick CEO of PORT-ER says " When the Trustees and myself see such valuable work being done with so few resources we are proud to assist in any way we can.
It is our wish to continue assisting SWEAD with more projects in the future."
