Second hand limb components have been refurbished and reused as new to hundreds or amputees in Sri Lanka as a result of the previous conflict . We now have a project proposal which could enable us to establish a permanent rehabilitation clinic in the North of Sri Lanka which would be self sustaining after 3 years.The experience and staff are available to accommodate this proposal and is supported by agencies of the Sri Lankan Government . The GoSL and the Provincial Health Secretariat are very supportive of this proposal. A clear detailed project proposal is available. The Meththa Foundation UK and The Sri Lankan Medical and Dental Association UK srilankan-mda.org.uk are a UK based charity of Sri Lankan expatriates and have provided financial support. The recent conflict has left many thousands of men, women, and children with amputations and other physical and psychological problems. We have already held mobile clinics in the north and helped over 300 amputees to begin rehabilitating since July 09. We are seeking funding to establish a permanent centre ,in order to teach local staff that will enable long term support and treatment to these unfortunate patients. Your support or guidance will be appreciated Regards Bernard Waldron Snr Prosthetist Dr Bandara Panagamuwa Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine West Midlands Rehabilitation Centre Birmingham UK Dear Sir /Madam
