Fast, Innovative Prosthetics: Meeting Needs in Gaza Driven by Real-World Data 🌍 By working together, #Koalaa and #LifeSciencesNetwork are demonstrating how to deliver fast, agile, and innovative healthcare, to meet the real-world needs of amputees in conflict zones with unprecedented speed: The Sarah Tool: From Personal Journey to Humanitarian Impact https://lnkd.in/etd9D8tB. The Restoring Hope initiative uses world-first technology and logistical approaches to provide amputees in Gaza with functioning prosthetics in as little as 1.5 hours. This approach has already achieved remarkable milestones, such as enabling a **triple amputee** to both walk and hold a pen within **24 hours**. 📊 Real-World Impact 30 upper-limb Koalaa prosthetics fitted in the first 68 days of deployment of the Mobile Amputee Support Units (MASUs, pronounced “ma-sooz”). 🚴♂️ Driving Innovation Real-world feedback from Gaza is driving Koalaa’s development of a world-first, fast, strong, lightweight above-elbow prosthetic designed for cycling, powered by the determination and passion of Ginola Ginola, Sarah Fisher, and Dr. Bryan Roberts and others. In Gaza, bicycles are key to accessing food and water due to widespread road destruction. The new prosthetic will make this vital mobility option accessible to more people. Stay tuned for its launch! 🌟 Collaborative Vision Restoring Hope is the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan, envisioned, designed and led by the Life Sciences Network in collaboration with Jordanian and British organizations. Koalaa is providing the upper-limb prosthetic solutions. With over 14,000 amputees in Gaza (#WorldHealthOrganisation), the need is vast, and the work is urgent. 🌱 Be Part of the Solution To support the **Restoring Hope** initiative and help transform lives, visit Restoring Hope in Action or reach out directly to Edward Hall.
