"After being declared to meet the requirements, the next stage is measurement to ensure the suitability of the size of the prosthetic leg," he said, Monday (4/13).

Bernard explained that after the measurement process, the prosthetic leg production process takes approximately two weeks to a month. All recipients who have participated in the process since last March will then undergo the fitting phase.

"Today is the installation schedule for residents who have gone through all the stages since March," he explained.

One of the beneficiaries from Setiabudi District, Sadian (63) expressed his gratitude for the assistance.

He explained that he lost his leg due to amputation due to diabetes. Sadian admitted that he remains enthusiastic about his activities, including working.

"I'm still trying to make a living by being a motorcycle taxi driver. This assistance has been very helpful in my daily activities," he admitted.
