NSPPL
The National Syrian Project for Prosthetic Limbs
who we are?
Welcome to NSPPL—a beacon of hope founded in 2013 in the wake of the Syrian civil war. Since our inception, we have been unwavering in our mission to restore independence and dignity to individuals affected by limb loss across northern Syria and Turkey. By combining cutting-edge clinical care with a sustainable operational model, NSPPL has become a trusted leader in prosthetic and orthotic services for war-affected communities.
