Every year, the Battambang Regional Physical Rehabilitation Centre provides orthopaedic services to thousands of people in Cambodia - including prosthesis to replace or support limbs, wheelchairs and physiotherapy services.
The ICRC supports the ongoing work of the centre, focusing its efforts on social reintegration programmes for disabled patients, to help them integrate back into their society with dignity.
