An overview of our self-care work

Our team runs a mobile prosthetics unit that travels around the country providing medical care to people who have lost their limbs, either through leprosy, or as a result of landmines that litter the country.

Our mobile clinics take medical care to where the need is, travelling around districts where there is a need for leprosy support, but no local provision. Providing a combination of medical expertise and pastoral care, they are a vital part of TLM’s mission.

Our mobile clinics in India take medical care to where it is needed most, particularly to people who would struggle to reach a hospital.
