Kuito, 1995. A landmine victim.

For nearly three decades, the ICRC supported three limb-fitting and rehabilitation centres in Angola. Since the first one opened in Huambo in 1979, the centres have produced 32,000 artificial limbs, enabling thousands of amputees to walk again and resume an active life.

In 2008, the ICRC handed over its physical rehabilitation programme for landmine victims to the Ministry of Health and closed its sub-delegation in Huambo.
