Miracle in Haiti: Orphan receives country's first 3D-printed fingers

Haitian orphan Stevenson Joseph received a 3D-printed prosthetic hand, the first on the island nation. The 12-year-old was born without fingers.

In a remarkable story of technology benefiting the least likely, a 12-year-old orphan boy physically disabled from birth became Haiti’s first recipient of a 3D-printed prosthesis.

Born without fingers on either hand, Stevenson Joseph had little hope of treatment in a country where programmes for the disabled, apart from a handful of charities, are rare.
