Collection! List of domestic free prosthetic assembly projects, eligible applicants can apply
Many amputees are unaware that the government, civil affairs, disabled persons' federations, and public welfare foundations all offer free prosthetic projects. This article compiles all ongoing projects, informing you of the application channels, target audience, and precautions. It is recommended to forward them to those in need.
The high cost of prosthetic assembly is a major challenge for many physically disabled people to return to life and employment. Many people are not aware that the country has multiple free prosthetic projects that benefit the people and are currently being implemented normally. The editor has compiled a list of projects from official authoritative channels such as the Disabled Persons' Federation, Civil Affairs, Human Resources and Social Security, and China Disabled Persons' Welfare Foundation, clarifying which projects are effective, who can apply, and where to apply at once.
Important reminder: The vast majority of projects provide universal basic prosthetics (calf, thigh, decorative upper limb prosthetics); There are very few high-end electromyography and intelligent bionic prostheses available, which are public welfare pilot projects rather than universal projects.

2、 China Disabled Persons' Welfare Foundation's public welfare prosthetic project (ongoing, quota allocated by province)
The foundation's public welfare projects are currently being carried out, but they belong to phased projects. The quota and landing provinces are dynamically adjusted every year, and not all provinces are open for application all year round. It is necessary to consult the local Disabled Persons' Federation to confirm the annual targets.
1. Love in clothing, gather goodness, and walk together with happiness
The China Disabled Persons' Federation, in collaboration with the Yilian Group, is rolling recruitment in provinces such as Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Xinjiang, and Beijing to provide free prosthetics for impoverished individuals with physical disabilities, including mold making, adaptation, and rehabilitation training.
2. Cheer up Dream Chaser - Artificial Limb and Orthodontic Adaptation Assistance Project
The Disabled Persons' Foundation, in collaboration with Ant Charity, is targeting low-income families with physical disabilities in rural areas. It has been implemented in Hebei, Shandong, Xinjiang and other regions, giving priority to amputees who have the willingness to work. Free prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation training are provided.
3. Jishan Poverty Alleviation Health Campaign (formerly known as Jishan Poverty Alleviation Health Campaign) prosthetic limb project
The project name has been adjusted with the rural revitalization work, and the prosthetic limb rescue sector is still being carried out. We will no longer conduct large-scale centralized free clinics nationwide, but will instead apply in batches and designated locations.
4. Huo Yingdong from Macau helps you travel together
Periodic rotation will be carried out, and free prosthetic assistance quotas will be provided irregularly in some provinces.
5. Jishan Technology Disability Assistance Public Welfare Program (Intelligent Bionic Limb)
The public welfare pilot project has very few spots nationwide and needs to be screened and applied for, which does not belong to the inclusive project.
3、 Provincial Welfare Lottery Public Welfare Fund Local Special Artificial Limb Project (Regional Project)
Each province relies on the welfare lottery public welfare fund to establish local prosthetic assistance projects. If there is funding and a plan in the current year, it is considered effective. If the funding expires, it will be suspended.
Sichuan: Kangfu Engineering
Hubei: Love for the Disabled Action
Shandong: Qilu Welfare Lottery for the Disabled
Zhejiang: Welfare Lottery Helps Us
Guizhou: Universal prosthetic configuration project for socially disadvantaged and physically disabled individuals
There are still some cities in various regions that have separately piloted intelligent bionic prosthetic public welfare projects, and the quota is scarce. You can consult the local civil affairs and disabled persons' federation to see if there are any indicators for that year.
Suggested application sequence (very important)
First choice: County Disabled Persons' Federation [Basic Assistive Devices Adaptation Project for Persons with Disabilities]
Secondly, consult the Civil Affairs Bureau and apply for the Fukang Project
Finally: Inquire with the local Disabled Persons' Federation if there are any public welfare prosthetic quotas for the foundation this year
Key point: Project effectiveness ≠ There are quotas available in your region in the current year. There is an annual quota limit for public welfare projects, and even if the project exists, the city where it is located may not have declared the quota for that year.
Application Required Materials Reference
ID card, household registration book, disability certificate (physical disability), low guarantee/special poverty support certificate/prevention of poverty monitoring certificate (for disadvantaged groups), materials related to medical assessment of disabled limbs
Important Notice
Similar prosthetic projects are generally not reusable; There is a minimum replacement period for prostheses, usually 3 years for adults, and the replacement period can be shortened for minors due to their growth and development. Repeated applications for the same project within the prescribed time limit will not be accepted.
The free project mainly provides universal basic prostheses, with high-end bionic prostheses as pilot projects and very few spots available.
All projects are subject to the latest implementation rules of registered residence in the current year. It is recommended to consult the township disability association and the Civil Affairs Bureau in advance to confirm the quota and application time of this year.
A prosthetic is not only a tool for walking, but also a hope for returning to life and work. If you or your relatives and friends have the need for amputation or prosthetic limbs, you may refer to the project in this article and contact the local Disabled Persons' Federation and Civil Affairs Bureau for consultation and application. Forwarding and spreading to let more people in need know about this policy that benefits the people!
Disclaimer: The policy information in this article is compiled from the official website of the government, the Disabled Persons' Federation, and authoritative media. The implementation rules and quotas in various regions are dynamically adjusted every year. The specific success of the application is subject to the review of the local competent department.
