After an accident in 2016 in the Central African Republic, Bienvenue had his right leg amputated. MSF teams did the surgery and provided him a physiotherapy treatment and prostheses. In a one-minute vertical video, he talks about and shows us the basketball team he trains with almost every day with other people with disabilities in Bangui.

Script :
Before I was not a basketball player. I was not disabled
but I was playing soccer. Today I’m a disabled
basketball player.

After an accident in 2016 in the Central African Republic, Bienvenue had his right leg amputated.
He was underthe care of MSF, which did the surgery and provided physiotherapy treatment.

After my surgeries, I was with
the physio service.
I worked a lot with Uncle Emmanuel.
He helped me a lot. He showed me how to climb stairs, how to go down the stairs, how to stand for an hour or two.
Today if I have crutches or a prosthesis for free, it's thanks to MSF.
Playing a sport releases energy. It will allow us to strengthen our disabilities, to forget our past and our current situations. So per week I do 5 training sessions. From 2017 to today, I’ve been doing the same thing.
On average, about 320 people per month are undergoing operations and being followed by our teams at the SICA hospital in Bangui following injuries from road accidents or violent situations.
