Summary

[edit]
Description

A Red Cross doctor makes an adjustment to Qabila's prosthetic leg, Kabul, Afghanistan, 31 October 2011. Dr Karina. Qabila, aged 10, lost a leg after stepping on a landmine just two weeks ago.

Looking after the patients here is something that Dr Karina gets inspired about. She herself lost one of her legs at the age of 14, after being shot. She came to the ICRC to get help 20 years ago and has never looked back – she trained as a doctor and her disability has never stopped her living a normal life.

UK aid is supporting the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to run a network of seven orthopaedic centres across Afghanistan to assist those affected by mobility disabilities, including hundreds of mine victims.
