Help for people in crisis areas

The war in Ukraine, the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkey and the devastating situation in the Gaza Strip are currently affecting thousands of innocent people. Countless injured people depend on medical technology devices. Together, Ottobock and the Ottobock Global Foundation are doing their utmost to expand the orthopaedic technology infrastructure in crisis areas and to provide as many disabled persons as possible with prostheses, orthoses and wheelchairs.
