Ugani Prosthetics, Driven by innovation

Prothea Kenya is the local branch of Ugani Prosthetics, a Belgian social enterprise dedicated to transforming prosthetic care through innovation and accessibility. 
Over the past years, Ugani has developed an innovative digital (3D) workflow which enables orthopaedic technologists to lower the cost of their devices while increasing the quality. With impactful projects across Benin, Ghana, Asia, and the launch of a new workshop in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2024), Ugani continues to expand access to affordable prosthetic solutions.
Since its founding, Prothea Kenya has been utilizing this 3D workflow to produce custom prosthetic devices locally in Nairobi—delivering advanced, affordable care to patients across the region.
