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.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that EUR 500 thousand was raised for the creation of a prosthetics center in the capital during a charity fundraiser in Berlin.
“For our prosthetics center, which we are creating in Kyiv with the help of Berlin, we raised a total of EUR 500 thousand yesterday,” he wrote in his telegram channel on Thursday.
According to him, almost EUR305 thousand were donations in cash. “In addition, German business will provide, among other things, equipment to the prosthetics workshop for five additional employees,” he added.
Klitschko thanked the German benefactors, as well as the Life bridge Ukraine organization and its head Janine von Wolfersdorf, who, together with the Association of Berlin Merchants and Industrialists, organized a charity evening to raise funds for the prosthetics center.
“I am also grateful to the mayor of Kyiv’s sister city, Berlin, Kai Wegner, with whom we convinced Berlin businessmen of the importance of a joint project to create a prosthetics center in Kyiv,” Klitschko said.
