Content [hide]

Where can war victims receive treatment, prosthetics and rehabilitation? HMH.news has collected the main rehabilitation centres, charity projects and programmes available in Ukraine. All services provided by these centres are free of charge for veterans and war wounded and are covered by the state budget or donors.

Kyiv

Recovery (a project of the Pinchuk Foundation)

Recovery is the largest network of rehabilitation centres for the military in Ukraine. The centres are located in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Rivne, Cherkasy, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi and Dnipro. They offer comprehensive rehabilitation for severely wounded soldiers, including prosthetics and adaptation, physical therapy, sports rehabilitation, and psychosocial support. The project’s founders, Victor and Elena Pinchuk, plan to expand the network to at least 18 rehabilitation centres by early 2025, where about 26,000 soldiers could recover annually.

‘No limits’

A network of centres in Kyiv and other cities offering free prosthetics of lower and upper limbs under the state programme, orthotics, prostheses and orthopaedic footwear.

All-Ukrainian Centre ‘Zdorovye’

The head office is located in Kyiv, with another branch in Odesa. The centre manufactures and repairs prostheses on its own. It also provides individual prosthetics for upper and lower limbs at all levels of amputation.

Centre for Complex Endoprosthetics, Osteointegration and Bionics

The only centre in Ukraine that performs complex osteointegration operations. It has its own bionics laboratory. The centre specialises in highly traumatic cases. It also trains and accredits surgeons for complex osteointegrative interventions.

Trinity Hub

This is a unique educational and rehabilitation space for people with visual impairments. People with both congenital and acquired visual impairments, including veterans with eye and facial injuries, undergo rehabilitation here. The centre offers comprehensive individual rehabilitation with instructors, adaptive sports coaches and psychotherapists.

ReabiCentre

This is a rehabilitation centre for seriously injured people that was opened in January 2025 at the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. The centre specialises in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with severe polystructural limb injuries. The Rehab Centre is designed to help more than a thousand servicemen a year.

Dopomogator

This is a charitable foundation that helps with bionic prosthetics for military and civilians who lost limbs during the war. The foundation cooperates with Allbionics.ai, a Ukrainian manufacturer of bionic prostheses. It also provides psychological support.

Face the Future Ukraine programme

Veterans with facial injuries can get help under the Face the Future Ukraine project. This is a joint project of Face the Future Foundation, Still Strong, Razom for Ukraine and the CF ‘Patients of Ukraine’. Every six months, doctors from Canada and America come to Ukraine and operate on about 30 patients who have sustained complex facial injuries as a result of the war for free. During the missions, 150 military personnel have undergone reconstructive surgery.

Lviv

Superhumans Centre

A rehabilitation centre near Lviv that offers prosthetic limbs, reconstructive surgery, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and hearing restoration. The centre also has a social reintegration department, where ‘graduates’ (as veterans who have completed a full course of rehabilitation are called here) are advised by psychologists and career counsellors on further professional activities, job search or entrepreneurship.

UNBROKEN

The charitable organisation unites more than twenty projects, and in addition to treatment and rehabilitation, it also provides housing and reintegration for war victims. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, UNBROKEN has treated more than 19,000 wounded Ukrainians, including children. The rehabilitation centre near Lviv offers treatment for the wounded and prosthetics. They treat burn injuries, polytrauma and complex fractures. Together with L’Oréal Ukraine, the centre is implementing the ‘(NOT) to Beauty’ project. As part of the project, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine specialists help to correct injuries, facial scars and other defects caused by the war.
