The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has reported that the prosthetics and rehabilitation centre it supports in Hadhramaut, Yemen provided services to 581 beneficiaries during June 2026.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the centre served Yemeni beneficiaries who had lost limbs, continuing KSrelief’s wider programme of support for prosthetic and rehabilitation services across Yemen.

The Hadhramaut centre is part of a broader network of KSrelief-supported prosthetics and rehabilitation projects in Yemen, where conflict, injury, displacement and long-term health system pressure have created sustained demand for prosthetic limbs, physical rehabilitation and technical follow-up.
For people living with limb loss, a prosthetic service is not limited to device delivery. Effective rehabilitation requires assessment, measurement, socket fitting, alignment, gait training, physiotherapy, maintenance and regular review. In humanitarian settings, this continuity is especially important because many patients face additional barriers such as travel costs, unstable living conditions, limited access to follow-up appointments and difficulty replacing worn or poorly fitting components.
KSrelief’s previous reporting on the Hadhramaut centre shows the range of services delivered through the project. In May 2026, the centre served 578 beneficiaries and delivered 1,552 services, including prosthetic limb manufacturing, fitting and rehabilitation, physical therapy and specialised medical consultations. Male beneficiaries accounted for 54% of recipients and female beneficiaries 46%, while displaced persons made up 15% of the total. (KSrelief)
The June figure of 581 beneficiaries indicates that demand for prosthetic and rehabilitation care in Hadhramaut remains steady. It also reflects the importance of maintaining local rehabilitation capacity in Yemen, where people with amputations and mobility impairments need long-term clinical and technical support.
KSrelief-backed prosthetic centres in Yemen have also been active in other governorates. In Taiz, a separate KSrelief-supported project reported that its prosthetics and rehabilitation centre served 8,050 beneficiaries during its eighth operational phase, with services including prosthetic manufacturing, physical rehabilitation, maintenance and consultations.

For the prosthetics and orthotics community across the Middle East, the Hadhramaut update reinforces a key message: humanitarian prosthetic care must be planned as a continuing service model. Devices must be fitted well, maintained over time and supported by trained clinical teams who can respond to changes in the user’s body, activity level and daily needs.
As Yemen continues to face major rehabilitation needs, projects such as the Hadhramaut prosthetics centre demonstrate the role of specialised local facilities in restoring mobility, dignity and participation for people affected by limb loss.
