Hundreds of Cambodian amputees with ill-fitting and heavy prosthetics
- or none at all - are now able to move easier thanks to a Mercer On
Mission team that traveled to the country this summer.

Mercer University students, faculty and staff, with support from
Vietnamese and Cambodian colleagues, fitted patients with 549 legs
and 62 hands over nearly three weeks in June, said Dr. Ha Van Vo,
Distinguished University Professor and professor of biomedical
engineering. In addition, the team treated about 800 orthopedic
patients, he said.
