KGMU’s prosthetic unit struggles with staffing crisis for 6 yrs

Functioning from the Rehabilitation and Artificial Limb Centre (RALC) building under the DPMR, the unit has been operating with only one permanent employee for the last six years. Eight sanctioned technical posts, including senior prosthetist, prosthetic master, prosthetic supervisor, orthotic supervisor, leather supervisor and workshop supervisor, remain vacant, forcing the centre to depend largely on ad hoc staff.
