"As an Orthopedist, I was quite impressed with their fabrication of lower extremity prosthesis, particularly the Jaipur Foot which serves the Indian population quite well, as many people go bare foot and have an actual foot that is  made of  rubberized material  and is quite functional. This below the knee  prosthesis costs less than $ 30, as compared to one which I am sure would  cost $ 2,500 in United States."
Virginia and Leland Johnson, MD., 1663, Rollins Road, Burlingame California.

"People who live inside world&##39;s  many war zones, from Afghanistan  to Rwanda, may never have heard  of New York or Paris, but they are  likely to know of a town in Northern  India called Jaipur. Jaipur is  famous in strife torn areas as the  birthplace of an extraordinary  prosthesis, or artificial limb, known  as the Jaipur Foot, that has  revolutionized life of land-mine  amputees. The beauty of the Jaipur Foot is its lightness and mobility - those who wear it can run, climb trees & pedal bicycles - and its low price. While a prosthesis for a similar level of  amputation can cost several thousand dollars in the US, the Jaipur Foot costs  only now $30 in India. "
Time Magazine, USA ( Issue of Fall 1997 )

"His Excellency, Dr. Barak Zai, Minister of Health Govt. of Afghanistan also paid  visit to the camp. The minister appreciated the Jaipur Foot Technology and  stated, it was most suitable for Afghanistan. A total of 1105 legs were  satisfactorily fitted. As per the reports from various quarters, Jaipur Foot is  technically superior to all conventional limbs in Afghanistan. These limbs and  crutches  acclaimed  appreciation from every nook and corner. All the patients  expressed  their  happiness, gratitude and satisfaction with the limbs."
A.S. Toor, Charge &##39;D&##39; Affairs, Embassy of India, Kabul

"I wish to extend my thanks and congratulations for a superb programme in  Kumi  Hospital, Uganda. Your technicians did a marvelous job in training the tecnicians  of Uganda. They gained the respect and attention of all involved. They certainly  were well received by the patients. I asked two senior level Prosthetists, Mr. Tim  Staats from California and Mr. Gred Van Der Velde from Belgium and the  International Red Cross to assess the method and both were favourably  impressed. It is our hope that we will continue to work with you in the future to  help benefit the lives of people with disabilities and their families throughout the  world."
Jack Victor, President, World Rehabilitation Fund, USA.

"The Jaipur foot is a household name among people who live in world&##39;s many  war Zones:- As aid pours into Afghanistan, a special consignment from India is probably  bringing more happiness to Kabul than the rest of the World&##39;s cargo  combined.  Low-tech, cheap and rubbery it may be, but it will transform the lives of  Afghans  who, after two decades of war, of had one or both legs blown off by  l and  mines. The consignment consists of 1,000 pieces of the Jaipur Foot, a  prosthesis named after the Northern Indian city where it was developed in 1970." Read full article
