Since its establishment, the Association has been actively working to improve the quality of life of amputees through various activities, they said, but their problem is still the lack of understanding of the problem by the competent institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They emphasized that the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (HZZO) orthopaedic aids list, which still contains inadequate and outdated aids, is the biggest problem, which is also the reason for the insufficient inclusion of persons with disabilities in active social life, the representatives said. In order to introduce new aids, it would be necessary to make amendments to the current HZZO orthopaedic aids list, but there is no will for that, the representatives warned. As testament to the fact that the HZZO list is outdated, the delegation said that the list also includes aids that are no longer being manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The provision of high-quality and modern orthopaedic aids is a prerequisite for every amputee to achieve a good quality of life and a fulfilling life. Therefore, in cooperation with the Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics ISPO Croatia and the Institute for Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Aids, for the past six years the Association has been proposing that changes be made to the HZZO orthopaedic aids list and for modern aids to be introduced (e.g.: mechatronic knees). Members of the Association believe that the provision of aids to disabled persons \u2013 which fulfil their individual needs \u2013 would suffice. They underscored, in particular, that Croatia is bound by Article 20 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to provide quality orthopaedic aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107 was at the meeting alongside President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0015-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0015-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0031-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0031-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0040-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0040-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0043-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221205_0043-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met today in his Office with representatives of the Limbless Association of the City of Zagreb and Zagreb County, Association President Ana Sr\u0161en, Secretary Damjan Lisska, Supervisory Board President Anita Lauri Korajlija, Expert Associate Morena Mitak, member of the Limbless Association and the Association of\u00a0 Category 1 100% Croatian Disabled War Veterans Mario Filipi, member of the Association of Disabled Persons of Split Klaudija Barbari\u0107 Me\u0161in and Association member Ivan Katanu\u0161i\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20531,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-20535","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
