 Earlier we metioned that the first in Ukraine clinic for "war injuries" Superhumans is actively attracting funding.

“We hope that by the end of the year we will complete the patient rooms fund and the surgical department. As well as an educational center, says Olga Rudneva, CEO of Superhumans. “We can’t prosthetic more if we don’t have enough hands that know how to prosthetic.”

The Superhumans Center is designed to treat 3,000 people a year. Currently, more than 20 patients are already undergoing treatment, and another 130 people are in the waiting list. To become a patient, you must fill out an application on the Superhumans website.

Today, the staff of medical workers is 40 people, but it will be increased to 120. All treatment is free for patients at the expense of exclusively international donors. “This is not a hospital. This is the center for the return of lost opportunities,” says Superhumans CEO Rudneva. “We want people to come out of there better than before the injury.”

Superhumans has signed an exclusive deal with British bionic prosthesis company Open Bionics. The equipment supplier is a German company with a hundred-year history Ottobock.

It is planned to open five similar centers in other regions of Ukraine. Kharkiv may become the next city. “Superhumans is our way of thanking the military. This is the most important project that I do in my life,” said Andriy Stavnitser.
