In a course of many years the Prosthetics Support Project in Ukraine has been helping Ukrainian prosthetists and rehabilitation specialists to develop and grow. This is an unbiased, non-profit project, the purpose of which is to develop the domestic industry of prosthetics and rehabilitation. The project brought new knowledge to Ukraine and Ukrainian specialists know how to work with components of different manufacturers and how to provide the patient with such a product that will allow him/her to return to the most natural way of life they used to have. Continuous consulting assistance is provided to both specialists and patients who need prosthetics; the Project specialists directly participate in trainings on the latest technologies; components for patients are selected taking into account the recommendations of foreign specialists with extensive experience.
The goal of the «UNBROKEN» center is to help Ukrainians remain UNBROKEN and get all the necessary help here, in their own country, near their families. The center provides physical, psychological and social rehabilitation. Each person receives not only a prosthesis, but also returns to a full life.
