Universal Prosthetics is a Midwest-based company headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa and is determined to provide low-cost prosthetic legs to developing countries and thus creating a solution to large discrepancy between the amputee and prosthetist populations. The World Health Organization estimates that, for all untreated amputees to receive the care they need, the industry is 40,000 prosthetists shy of meeting the demand. Universal Prosthetics challenges that dogma. This account serves to promote awareness of amputation and global health issues in developing nations.
