Headline Rehabilitation in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean region 
Description During 1956 and the early part of 1957 WHO was giving assistance in Lebanon to a project for the rehabilitation of handicapped children. The aim was to provide a treatment, rehabilitation and training center for children handicapped physically by accident or disease and also to establish a school of physiotherapy. For this purpose, WHO provided a physiotherapist, a prosthetic technician and as short-term consultant (orthopedic surgeon).



Here Dr Craft (left) WHO consultant and Mr. Tournepiche, WHO prosthetic technician, work on the making of a night plaster for a young patient. A circular ganze is pulled on to both legs to mid-thigh, the plaster is applied to back of leg and shaped to fit. A wooden support is applied to under foot to ensure the foot will rest in a right-angle position while the plaster is drying. The cast is then cut and removed from leg to be finished for night use.
