The numbers of amputated in Syria during continue of wars is estimated about 120,000 in unofficial statistic gathered by non-governmental organization. These numbers are distributed geographical in a wide space. There is a fixed prosthetic center in west-north of Syria, but there is an interested stories some patients told us about how to cross short distances during continuing wars, it is death roads. The idea of Mobile Prosthetic Clinic (MPC) quoted from Pakistan after earthquake, but this situation is different because the war hasn't finished yet and it is increasing every day. Movement in relatively save of conflict areas, patients service like take measurement, prosthetic fitting and adjustments on their last limbs which was made before in our fixed center. Psychologist support for the patient, free service and the availability in their areas. Increasing of patients because of the situation in Syria, the movement in conflict zone is too dangerous and too expensive, also there isn't just one fixed center in the northern of Syria, in this area there is limited access for some patients. In addition to some difficulties which was faced by the center such as movement of technicians, sending products, provide material and preparing the workshop. Because of the mentioned previous reason the idea to create mobile clinic which has unlimited access to the biggest numbers of area which has patients, supply our free service to them in their areas and lighten them physically, psychologically and morally.
