During the period from September 1st, 2023 to June 30th, 2024, KSrelief took the initiative to implement the sixth phase of the project to operate the Prosthetic Limbs and Rehabilitation Center in Aden. This project aims to restore hope to those injured by providing prosthetic limbs and physical rehabilitation to patients with mobility disabilities, regardless of the type of injury.

The Prosthetic Limbs and Rehabilitation Center in Aden received 2961 individuals during its sixth phase, who benefited from 7775 specialized health services. These services included the installation of 413 prosthetic and orthotic limbs, the maintenance of 450 prosthetic limbs, in addition to providing 6912 services in the physiotherapy department, including physical rehabilitation services for 2098 beneficiaries.
