Erbil has taken a major step forward in the field of prosthetics. A new internationally certified university program now trains specialists to meet growing local needs. This program aims to improve the lives of amputees across the Kurdistan Region.
Many people in the region lost limbs due to conflict, accidents, or disease. For years, limited resources forced them to seek help abroad or rely on basic solutions. Now, with advanced technology and skilled professionals, they can access high-quality prosthetics close to home.
The program also focuses on research and innovation. Students learn the latest techniques for creating durable and comfortable artificial limbs. This ensures that patients receive devices that fit well and function effectively.
Furthermore, the initiative offers new opportunities for rehabilitation. Trained staff guide amputees through physical therapy and adaptation, helping them regain independence faster. These services reduce long recovery times and boost confidence.
Officials believe this advancement will encourage more investment in medical technology. It may also inspire other universities in the region to offer similar programs. With this progress, Erbil strengthens its role as a hub for medical innovation in the Middle East.
