Superhumans prosthetics center to open in Dnipro

The Superhumans Center for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation will open in Dnipro on the basis of a reconstructed building of one of the city’s clinics, with a capacity to rehabilitate about 600 patients a year and employ at least 40 doctors.

According to the Ministry of Health on its website on Wednesday, after the renovation of the hospital building, the center will cover an area of about 2,000 square meters and will include a rehabilitation area, a prosthetics laboratory, and an inpatient department for complex cases.

As reported earlier, Superhumans Center announced plans to open centers in Odesa and Mykolaiv.

The first clinic of the Superhumans Center project was opened in April 2023 in Lviv on the basis of a local hospital. Earlier, the first stage of this center was opened – a prosthetic workshop and part of a rehabilitation center. It is planned to treat about 3 thousand patients annually.

Investments in the launch of the Superhumans rehabilitation medical center in Lviv are estimated at $54 million. Funds for the project are raised in Ukraine and abroad through fundraising.

The Superhumans clinic focuses on prosthetics for adults and children, surgical operations to reconstruct and restore disfigured body parts, including the face, and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.

A memorandum of cooperation was signed between Superhumans and the Ministry of Health. The project was initiated by Ukrainian businessman Andriy Stavnitser. Another founder of the project is Stavnitser’s business partner Philip Grushko.

Raiffeisen Bank launches underground branches in Kharkiv and Dnipro

Raiffeisen Bank (Kyiv) has opened its first underground branches in Kharkiv and Dnipro, the bank’s telegram channel reported on Friday.
As specified, the underground branches will operate on the basis of existing ones and will serve customers in case of an air alert. Customer service is already available through a separate entrance leading to the underground premises.
“Underground workplaces allow us to ensure continuity of customer service even in the event of air raids. This is especially important in cities that are subject to constant shelling, which is why branches are forced to stop working on the surface for a rather long time,” Artem Nidzelsky, Retail Business Director of the center of the bank’s southeastern region, said in a statement.
According to him, the continuous operation of the branches allows to support local businesses and provide access to financial services. This, in turn, helps to minimize economic losses for entrepreneurs and the population.
“It is also extremely important that the new initiative creates safer working conditions for employees, allowing them to work more confidently and with less stress,” emphasized Nizelsky.
Underground branches provide all banking services as well as traditional branches, including account opening, deposits, lending, customer consultations and cash payments.
Raiffeisen Bank explained that the first underground bank branches appeared in cities located near the hostilities and constantly under fire. The number and duration of air raids in these cities is increased, customers have limited access to offline services and frequent problems with stable communication.
This step is expected to help maintain economic stability in the frontline regions, preserve customer confidence and provide a sense of stability and security when using banking services, which is especially important in wartime.
In the future, the bank plans to open separate underground branches in Kharkiv, Dnipro and other frontline cities.
