What is Orthopedic Care?

Why Orthopedic Care is Important for Disabled and Poor Patients in Yemen?
Orthopedic care is important for disabled and poor patients in Yemen because it can improve their quality of life, reduce their pain and suffering, prevent further complications or disabilities, enhance their mobility and function, increase their independence and productivity, boost their self-esteem and confidence, and restore their hope and dignity.
Many disabled and poor patients in Yemen have been injured or disabled by the violence of the civil war that has been raging for more than six years. They have suffered from gunshot wounds, bomb blasts, landmines, shrapnel, burns, or other trauma that have damaged their musculoskeletal system. Some of them have lost their limbs or parts of their limbs due to amputation or infection. Others have developed chronic conditions or deformities due to lack of treatment or care.
These patients face many challenges and difficulties in their daily lives, such as:
- Limited access to healthcare and rehabilitation services
- Lack of equipment, supplies, medicines, and staff
- High costs and fees of medical care and transportation
- Stigma and discrimination from society and family
- Isolation and exclusion from education and employment
- Poverty and food insecurity
- Mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or suicidal thoughts
Orthopedic care can help these patients overcome these challenges and difficulties by providing them with the medical and rehabilitation services that they need and deserve. It can also help them cope with their physical and emotional pain and trauma, and empower them to live a better and happier life.
How We Have Been Providing Orthopedic Care to Disabled and Poor Patients in Yemen?
We are a team of orthopedic surgeons who have been working in Yemen since 2017. We have been providing orthopedic care to the most vulnerable and needy patients, regardless of their background or affiliation. We have performed hundreds of surgeries, such as joint replacements, spinal fusions, bone fractures, and amputations, to restore mobility and dignity to our patients. We have also provided rehabilitation services, such as physical therapy, prosthetics, and orthotics, to help them recover and reintegrate into society.
We have been working in collaboration with local hospitals, clinics, NGOs, and community organizations to reach out to the patients who need our help. We have also been training and mentoring local doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, and volunteers to improve their skills and knowledge in orthopedic care. We have also been raising awareness and advocacy about the importance and benefits of orthopedic care for disabled and poor patients in Yemen.
We have been documenting and sharing our work and stories on our website [hutaif-orthopedic.com] and on our social media platforms. You can see some of the photos and videos of our patients before and after their surgeries and rehabilitation. You can also read some of the testimonials and feedback from our patients and their families.
What Challenges We Face in Providing Orthopedic Care to Disabled and Poor Patients in Yemen?
Despite our efforts and achievements, we face many challenges and obstacles in providing orthopedic care to disabled and poor patients in Yemen. Some of these challenges are:
- Lack of equipment, supplies, medicines, and staff: We often have to work with limited or outdated equipment, insufficient or expired supplies, scarce or unavailable medicines, and understaffed or unqualified staff. This affects the quality and safety of our services and limits our capacity to serve more patients.
- Lack of security: We often have to work in areas that are under attack or siege by the warring parties. We face the risk of violence, kidnapping, bombing, shelling, or looting. This endangers our lives and the lives of our patients and staff. It also disrupts our operations and prevents us from reaching some of the patients who need us the most.
- Lack of funding: We often have to rely on our own resources or donations from individuals or organizations to fund our work. We do not receive any support or assistance from the government or the international community. This makes it hard for us to sustain our work and expand our services.
