Assistive Tech Conference

Through Fit4Purpose #prosthetics, @Makerere is organizing an Assistive Technology conference geared to improve supply chain of Prosthetic and Orthotic devices

[Assistive Tech Conference @AssistiveTechUG]

🗣 Living with a disability related to body impairment such as loss of a limb is still a burden in a Low and Middle income country like Uganda!

🇺🇬 @Makerere in partnership with 🇬🇧 @SalfordUni to share in upcoming #Fit4PurposeConference.
