Sierra
Leone: skills training for amputees, IDPs
A total of 400
amputees and people with severe lacerations are receiving training in
skills ranging from shoemaking to basic management under a programme
run by a non-governmental organisation, Cause Canada, OCHA noted in
its 'Humanitarian Situation Report' for 17 June - 10 July.
Meanwhile, an Italian
NGO, Emergency, which specialises in urgent surgery and treating war-wounded,
is transforming a former clinic at Goderich, just outside Freetown,
into an orthopaedic surgical centre, where it will also train health
personnel in specialisations such as anaesthesia and intensive care
treatment, OCHA reported.
