Published by BRAC at Jun 21 2011 With a decade of experience operating a Limb and Brace Center in Bangladesh, BRAC opened the doors of its Limb and Brace Center in Port-au-Prince on September 16th, 2010 in order to address the needs of an estimated 2,000 to 4,000 Haitians who had undergone amputation or suffered other physical injuries as a result of the earthquake. BRAC's prosthetic and orthotic devices are designed to be durable and easy to maintain, enabling adults to return to work and children to return to school. Since April, BRAC Haiti has provided prosthetic treatment to 71 patients, orthotic treatment to 278 patients and physiotherapy and counseling services to 76 patients.
