For Radwan Jibril, wounded in a bastion of Libya s 2011 revolution, losing his leg became inevitable and he had a prosthetic replacement, but thousands of other amputees are still waiting.
An orthopaedic centre is finally scheduled to open in March to provide prostheses to amputees in the North African country riven by conflict for the past decade.
Jibril, like so many others, was hit by shrapnel in his western hometown of Misrata, which endured a devastating siege during the revolt that brought down longtime dictator Moamer Kadhafi. Despite several medical stays abroad, amputation was inevitable because the injury had been so badly treated. It was all a big shock, he said.
