PRUBSN TO PROVIDE FREE PROSTHETIC LEGS TO 114 UNDERPRIVILEGED AMPUTEES VIA MOBILITY IS LIFE 2022 PROGRAMME

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The Mobility is Life 2022 programme, which provides free prosthetic legs for underprivileged amputees, is expected to benefit up to 114 new recipients with an allocation of RM400,000.

The programme, which is an initiative by Prudential BSN Takaful Bhd's (PruBSN) charitable arm PruBSN Prihatin and its partner Kedidi Global Enterprise (Kedidi), aims to assist underprivileged amputees to regain their full, independent and productive lives.

PruBSN Prihatin president Datin Seri Azlin Arshad said that since prosthetic limbs were expensive, it is almost impossible for most underprivileged families in Malaysia to obtain them as their priority was to provide food on the table.

“We understand the challenges the amputees and handicapped face in carrying out their daily tasks, especially in terms of mobility. Aside from that, we also understand the emotional distress and hurdles that they experience.

“We hope to alleviate that burden from their shoulders by providing them with a solution to move forward in life and go about their daily activities with ease. In brief, we want to enable more Malaysians to live with confidence and enjoy peace of mind,” she said in a statement today.

Since its launch in 2018, the Mobility is Life programme has benefited more than 412 amputees nationwide.
