Accessing Prosthetic Services in Contexts of Donor-Dependency
摘要
This chapter addresses the second stage in patient journeys post-amputation to rehabilitation. It describes the status of rehabilitation services for people with major Limb Loss in Uganda prior to the complex intervention. It outlines some of the damaging impacts of donorism in a country where rehabilitation is almost entirely dependent on the support of foreigners and Overseas development Assistance and the prohibitive costs that restrict access to rehabilitation services for the majority.
