Jaipur Foot Prosthetics Centre Inaugurated in Trinidad to Support Amputees

A permanent Jaipur Foot Prosthetics Centre was inaugurated in Penal, Trinidad and Tobago, by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on May 9, aiming to provide artificial limbs to below-knee amputees in the Caribbean. Supported by Jaipur Foot USA and BMVSS, the centre will supply 600 prosthetic limbs and train local technicians. This initiative follows a successful 50-day camp in Port of Spain last year and was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 2023 visit.
