Guatemala

The impact of amputation on a person’s life is wide-ranging, affecting not only their physical mobility but also their physical health, mental health, economic livelihood, educational trajectory, and family and community participation.

Guatemala City, Guatemala

According to a recent report by McDonald et al, each year, approximately 1.5MM people experience an amputation. Many countries around the world, including Guatemala and Ecuador, provide little to no prosthetic care through their public health systems, forcing people with amputation to seek prosthetic care at often inaccessibly expensive, private-sector clinics.
